Plastic Packaging Buzzwords: Sustainability, Healthcare, Ready-made Meals and Pet Economy

In 2025, the plastic packaging industry is set for a pivotal transformation. On one hand, regulatory frameworks such as the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) are being introduced, encouraging the reduction of packaging waste and enhancing recycling efforts. On the other hand, the burgeoning health supplement and ready-made meal markets as well as pet economy are driving new demands for innovative, and experience-driven plastic packaging.
Within this landscape, sustainable packaging, functional packaging, ready-made meal packaging and pet food packaging emerge as key focus areas for the plastic packaging supply chain.
