Governments, on all continents, have responded to public concerns regarding packaging waste, especially single-use packaging waste, and are implementing regulations to both minimize environmental waste and improve waste-management processes (Exhibit 1).

Governments have started to respond to the public outcry The visceral images of the effects of ocean plastics pollution have stirred up consumer sentiment around the world. This has not gone unnoticed public awareness of packaging waste leakage, especially plastic waste, into the environment has increased significantly to an all-time high over the past 12вЂ“24 months. In fact, most of the global plastics waste goes into incineration (25%) and landfills (40%), meaning that these materials are lost forever as a resource, despite plasticsвЂ™ potential for reuse and recycling. Global leakage or unmanaged dumps of all plastic material flows (both durable and non-durable) is estimated to be around 19 percent, and only 16 percent of all plastic waste is re-processed to make new plastics. Emerging regions (Asia in particular) are under the most pressure, because packaging demand growth is outpacing global growth rates, and waste-collection systems-let alone recycling-are not in place at the required scale. (note, however, that overall data collection quality on recycling rates is rather immature, so real-world rates may differ from reported figures). In Europe, the plastic-packaging recycling rate reported was somewhat higher at approximately 40 percent, compared to approximately 80 percent for paperboard, and 75вЂ“80 percent for metal and glass 3 In the United States, for example, waste is generally managed with low leakage but recovery rates for packaging and food-service plastics are about 28 percent. Recycling rates for plastic packaging are relatively low. This is especially true for multi-material packaging, which today poses a significant and unresolved challenge in recycling. Large amounts of packaging produced today cannot be recycled in existing recycling systems. However, widespread usage of single-use packaging containers has resulted in a heavy burden on the environment, and the management of packaging waste is facing a crisis due to two unresolved challenges:

Headline changes include the increased use of plastics to replace other substrates and accommodate consumersвЂ™ demand for convenience, but also the economic boom in China and other emerging regions. Over the past decade, the global packaging industry has enjoyed strong growth, driven by shifts in choice of substrates and expansion of new end-markets. Packaging is ubiquitous in our daily lives and enables minimization of food waste and overall product breakage with advanced convenience features 2ДЇor example, easy open and resealable closures, freshness retention, ready-to-eat/convenient foods/portability, one-hand use, and single-portion/smaller packs.ДЄt low costs. Consumer awareness to packaging waste in oceans and landfills is driving change Going forward, converters will have to proactively embrace sustainability issues as consumer demands and regulatory requirements multiply. However, for packaging converters with the right focus and innovation capabilities, the new landscape could offer significant growth and new partnership opportunities to support customers in revising their packaging portfolios. There will be significant impact on packaging converters and their value chain, which could threaten the survival of many in the industry. Regulators are moving on the issue, and Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies and retailers are proactively making bold commitments to improve both the sustainability of their packaging and to fundamentally rethink their packaging systems. To drive major changes in consumer packaging. Sustainability-particularly regulatory and public concerns around single-use packaging waste-is combining with other powerful trends 1Д¬ost pressure, e-commerce and digitization in general, and shifting consumer preferences-for details see David Feber, Daniel NordigГҐrden, and Shekhar Varanasi, вЂњ Winning with new models in packaging,вЂќ May 2019.
