The increased use of plastic packaging in the food & beverage industry has harmful environmental impacts. As a result, the focus on developing sustainable and environmental-friendly packaging has increased. The brands are increasingly focusing on being transparent about their efforts and helping educate consumers on the disposal of packaging after use to create a genuine, long-term impact on the sustainability agenda.
As per a survey conducted by McKinsey and Company, 75% of millennial respondents consider sustainability during their purchases. The new generation of aseptic production and packaging solutions focuses on providing sustainable and eco-friendly solutions that will include minimal resource consumption and lower levels of product loss. For instance, Tetra Pak, a food processing and packaging solutions company, developed the world’s first aseptic carton package certified for using materials from renewable sources. This recyclable aseptic package is made from renewable resources and includes the use of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified paperboard. This solution with plant-based caps and layers helps reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 23% compared to a standard package. Similarly, SIG, a system and solutions provider for aseptic packaging, has developed SIGNATURE EVO, the world’s first aluminum-free complete barrier packaging materials for aseptic carton packs, which will help in reducing the carbon footprints. Thus, due to the increased focus on the environment, it is expected that there will be an increased focus on creating sustainable and eco-friendly aseptic packaging for food and beverages in the coming years.
With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Middle East & Africa aseptic packaging for food and beverages market growth at a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
