The Future of Sustainable Packaging: Long Term Strategic Forecasts to 2032

This report examines how sustainable packaging for consumer-packaged goods, food as well as non-food, will develop over the next 10 years, and how the consumer-packaged goods companies (CPG Cos.) and the packaging industry will adjust. It analyses technological developments, regulations, consumer expectations, regulatory proposals, and major CPG Cos. plans to shape the future market.

Table of Contents Key Facts and Figures
Macro changes across the world and within populations ensure that compelling forces will increase the amount of packaging waste. Changing supply and demand ratios largely drive fluctuations because extraction/refining technology and resultant costs change only gradually. The eight components of the packaging material circulation model provide a convenient framework for tracking regulation of consumer goods packaging.

What does the report cover?
This report examines how sustainable packaging for consumer-packaged goods, food as well as non-food, will develop over the next 10 years, and how the consumer-packaged goods companies (CPG Cos.) and the packaging industry will adjust. It analyses technological developments, regulations, consumer expectations, regulatory proposals, and major CPG Cos. plans to shape the future market. This report considers present and likely future marketplace drivers for sustainable packaging, national and local regulatory trends from around the world, sustainable packaging materials innovations, and sustainability goals of CPG Cos.
