Market Dynamics
Growing Demand for Sustainable Packaging Solutions
The frozen food packaging industry is moving towards reusable packaging systems that involve durable materials designed for multiple uses. This approach significantly reduces waste and environmental impact, as the packaging is returned, cleaned, and reused in a closed-loop process. The shift towards sustainability is largely consumer-driven. Modern consumers are more environmentally conscious and seek products that align with sustainable practices. The industry is responding by integrating eco-friendly packaging solutions to meet these expectations. For instance, American Packaging Corporation (APC) has announced the commercial launch of a new RE Design for Recycle flexible packaging technology. This launch is aimed at the frozen food sector, specifically for products such as frozen fruits and vegetables
