“Growing Adoption of Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Packaging Solutions”
One of the key trends shaping the retail ready packaging market is the growing adoption of sustainable and eco-friendly packaging solutions. With increasing consumer demand for environmentally responsible products and stringent government regulations on plastic waste, companies are shifting toward biodegradable, recyclable, and compostable materials in retail packaging. Major players such as Smurfit Kappa and DS Smith are leading this transformation by introducing lightweight corrugated board packaging and fiber-based alternatives that reduce environmental impact while maintaining durability and functionality. For instance, DS Smith’s Greencoat packaging, a fully recyclable water-resistant solution, is gaining traction in the food and beverage industry as a sustainable alternative to plastic packaging. In addition, retailers are preferring minimalist, plastic-free designs to enhance product visibility while aligning with global sustainability goals. As businesses strive to meet both consumer preferences and regulatory requirements, eco-friendly retail ready packaging is set to drive long-term market growth.
