PRNewswire states “According to Statistics MRC, the Global Biodegradable Packaging Market is accounted for $4.7 billion in 2015 and is growing at a CAGR of 17.2% to reach $14.3 billion by 2022. Huge population and favourable demographics are the major factors driving the market growth. The rising demand for conventional non-biodegradable plastic packaging materials like PET proves to be one of the most crucial factors driving the market growth. The biodegradable packaging market is driven by fast growth of food packaging and beverage packaging industries especially in promising economies such as BRIC countries as well as the developed economies of Europe and North America.”
When compared to the plastics packaging market, the biodegradable packaging market is poised to witness the highest growth. The food packaging and beverage packaging market is likely to play a vital role in driving the global biodegradable packaging market. Lack of government support particularly in developed countries is expected to restrain the market growth.

The market predicts huge growth for biodegradable packaging and this blog aims to cover several sub-topics around biodegradable packaging, its benefits and uses, and its impact on companies.
Biodegradable packaging refers to materials that degrade naturally over time and can be decomposed fully in less than six months.
Biodegradable packaging doesn’t leave behind any nasty chemicals or other unpleasant substances that harm the environment in any way. Biodegradable packaging is a fantastic option for businesses in the food sector: it doesn’t leave customers feeling guilty about not recycling used packaging, and it is also safe for use with edible products.
The Environmental Benefits of Eco-Friendly Packaging:
Eco-friendly packaging is better for the environment as it is made of recycled waste material which reduces the consumption of resources.
The packaging should either be compostable or recyclable. If some of your customers or co-workers happen to have compost facilities, then you can turn the waste packaging into compost. If the packaging is clearly labelled as recyclable packaging, it can be thrown into your recycling bin for further re-use.
Eco-friendly packaging is relatively versatile and can be re-used and re-purposed in most industries that involve packaging. No matter what you’re packaging there will be an eco-friendly type of packaging that will meet their needs and reduce costs.
Biodegradable packaging / environmentally friendly packaging not only reduces your carbon footprint and environmental impact but is also beneficial as it can be biodegraded with no toxins.
Environmentally friendly packaging can have a huge impact on the image of your business. Biodegradable packaging shows your customers that you are dedicated to being a responsible company and you share the world’s environmental concerns. A recent study discovered that 78% of customers between the ages of 18-72 felt more positive about a product whose packaging was made up of recycled items.
Reducing your shipping costs reduces the number of raw materials that are used to package the products: fewer packing materials lead to less energy being expended.
Paper shredders are a great way to easily discard any waste packaging, making it easier for the packaging to bio-degrade quicker.
Traditional packaging methods and materials contribute to global warming and other harmful environmental issues. Using eco-friendly packaging greatly reduces the amount of plastic we use. Using non-sustainable petrochemical resources (a part of all traditional plastics) requires a lot of energy. Petrochemical products have been linked to several health problems when used with food.
The demand for sustainable eco-friendly products grows every day. It is suggested, all adults who were born after 1990 prefer to go eco-friendly and sustainably when it comes to buying. Therefore, opting for a green approach will attract more customers that will potentially keep on returning depending on your attitude to the environment.
Producing recycled, biodegradable packaging saves energy and its creation also preserves the planet’s declining resources. Biodegradable materials aren’t made from crude oil like plastic packaging. Instead, renewable sources and managed forests are used to make the materials required to create biodegradable packaging.
Biodegradable, food-grade packaging and compostable packaging are perfectly safe for use in the food and beverage industry. Because harmful chemicals are emitted from the production and manufacturing process, the packaging won’t leach into customers’ food unknowingly.
Biodegradable packaging both protects and benefits the environment massively. When biodegradable matter breaks down, it feeds microorganisms, such as fungi and bacteria. This creates a natural relationship, allowing nature to reclaim the materials we’ve benefited from.
Customers enjoy supporting brands that stand for positive environmental action and are more likely to return if your company aligns with their personal ethos. Giving your customers an eco-friendly solution that can be recycled or thrown away in general waste, without causing harm to the environment is something positive and impressionable.
It has been proven that customers prefer a company with strong eco-friendly values.
50% of British consumers would choose an eco-friendly packaging option at a higher price.
75% of British consumers want online retailers to offer more eco-friendly materials when packing their orders to minimize waste.
Consumers want companies to reflect their values and are far more likely to purchase from a business with an identity: whether it is represented in charitable efforts or eco-friendly practices. Because of this, biodegradable packaging presents an opportunity for growth.
