People will always need canned water and non-alcoholic drinks, so the market for reusable packaging in the drink business is likely to grow. People are afraid of getting sick from drinking dirty tap water, so they buy bottled water instead. It's also easy to carry and use.
People also like drinking water in many emerging and developed countries. These days, more and more people drink water instead of soft drinks because it is better for them. Americans like bottled water more than other packed drinks, says the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA). They drank 13.8 billion gallons of it in 2018. Over 90% of Americans think that bottled water will be sold anywhere other drinks are. This was found in a recent online study by The Harris study for the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA).
The Environmental Audit Committee says that more than 700,000 bottles are left behind every day just in the UK. These numbers make it clear how important it is to have drink containers that break down naturally.
Companies in the beverage business, like PepsiCo, have used PET bottles that can be recycled. North America and other countries use 30% and 7% of their product amount to make reusable PET bottles from PepsiCo. However, poor countries like India are likely to be limited in their use of reusable PET for beverage packing because it costs a lot to make and recycle. As an example, in July 2020, PepsiCo joined a group of global consumer goods companies, including Unilever, to make and market the first paper bottle that could be recycled. This bottle was first made by Diageo and Pilot Lite.
Due to people's busy lives, food delivery and takeout have spread around the world. This has made more people want to buy recyclable food packing. Mobile food is another trend that is increasing the need for recyclable food packing.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, people want more safe and clean packaging that is easy to reuse and recycle. This is making the market for recyclable food packaging grow.
Environmental problems like smog and global warming are making people give up disposable and non-biodegradable packing. Plastic and other harmful packing materials that end up in the ocean hurt the ecosystem there, and watery animals die when they eat or get caught in the trash.
Some packing materials contain BPA and benzene, which are also bad for people's health and can sometimes cause cancer, high blood pressure, and breathing problems. People now choose biodegradable packaging over other non-renewable packaging materials because they know that packing is bad for the environment.
People's tastes are likely to change and the world's population will rise, which will make the market for reusable food products grow even more. There are now new packaging materials on the market, such as cellulose, bamboo, corn starch, and seaweed. These came about because of research and new ideas in the area of reusable food packing. The market for food packaging that can be recycled is expected to grow since more research is being done in this area.
