Plastic Bans: A Threat or an Opportunity for Contract Packagers?

As the war on single-use plastics heats up, are you ready to help your contract packaging customers find new and innovative options?

In today’s anti-plastic climate, contract packagers are no more immune than their customers to the increasing number of bans on single-use packaging, especially when their businesses are built around handling products in plastic packaging.

One such business is Maverick Packaging, Inc., a contract packager of liquid products in Elkhart, IN. Among its services, it provides hotels with amenity products in bulk containers for refillable dispensers and in small, single-size bottles. In October, California passed a bill that will directly impact a portion of its business—a ban on travel-size bottles used in hotels. The first phase, affecting larger hotels, is set to take effect in 2023, with significant fines for those establishments not in compliance.
