Sustainable packaging has become integral to maintaining environmental sustainability and reducing carbon footprint. With growing environmental consciousness among consumers and stringent government regulations, packaging companies are increasingly adopting recyclable and biodegradable materials for packaging. Sustainable packaging solutions help companies meet sustainability goals and appeal to eco-conscious customers. They are made from recycled or renewable plant-based materials like paper, bamboo, or agricultural byproducts and can be reused, recycled or composted after usage. They play a crucial role in eliminating plastic waste and reducing emissions. The global sustainable packaging market is driven by government initiatives promoting sustainable practices and voluntary corporate commitments to combat climate change.

The global Sustainable Packaging Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 302.64 Bn  in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 13.% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:
Growing popularity of plant-based packaging materials is a key trend in the sustainable packaging market.
