The packaging industry is evolving as fast as the world around it, and three key packaging trends are driving this change today, according to PMMI Business Intelligence’s “2023 World Packaging Machinery” report.

Sustainability to Drive Innovation and Collaboration

Sustainability continues to drive innovation and collaboration in the packaging industry, underpinned by changing consumer expectations and the shift in willingness to pay for sustainable products.

Packaging companies are increasingly developing products with circularity in mind, designing products to be recyclable, compostable, and/or reusable.

Regulation will also play a key role globally, increasingly pushing for circularity and the use of more environmentally friendly solutions like plastic substitutes.

Climate legislation contributes heavily to the industry’s sustainability focus. Companies are targeting ways to reduce CO2 emissions, find reliable sources of clean energy, and focus on management of water resources.

Materials and waste are also top of mind for regulators. Concerns over food contact materials and chemicals and a drive to reduce plastic use are prompting change.
