The biodegradable milk packaging market is growing fast and is set to generate hundreds of millions in revenue between 2025 and 2034, leading the shift toward sustainable packaging. This growth comes from strong demand for eco-friendly solutions, government rules to cut plastic waste, and consumers choosing non-toxic, compostable options. New barrier technologies also help biodegradable packaging keep milk fresh for as long as traditional plastic or multilayer cartons.
