Increasing Regulatory Policies to Reduce Plastic Packaging

Published: May 2024

Global food contact paper market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period (2024–2031). The major factors promoting the adoption of food contact papers are the implication of stringent policies by governments globally for tackling issues such as waste disposal, biodiversity, plastic pollution, and others. For instance, in November 2023, the European Parliament adopted revamped rules to reduce, reuse and recycle packaging. Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) approved the report mandating to reduce packaging, restrict certain types, and ban the use of forever chemicals (highly toxic fluorinated chemicals), Also targets were proposed in the regulation (5% by 2030, 10 % by 2035 and 15 % by 2040) to ban the sale of very lightweight plastic carrier bags (below 15 microns) unless required for hygiene reasons or provided as primary packaging for loose food to help prevent food wastage.

Moreover, constant alterations in policies have been registered globally showcasing the government's intent to adopt sustainable packaging alternatives. For instance, in July 2022, the Indian government amended a packaging law forbidding the manufacturing, import, stocking, distribution, sale, and use of plastic carry bags with a thickness of less than one hundred and twenty microns, including wrapping and packing films. The single-use plastic items that will be restricted, have been determined based on the recommendations of an expert committee on single-use plastics established by the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, Government of India.
