The sustainable flexible packaging market is growing fast, with revenues expected to rise by hundreds of millions between 2025 and 2034, supporting global sustainable infrastructure. Increasing consumer demand, stronger environmental awareness, strict regulations, and new innovations in packaging materials are fueling this growth. Companies are also focusing more on sustainability goals, and governments are encouraging eco-friendly alternatives. Since plastic can take nearly 1,000 years to decompose, the need for sustainable flexible packaging materials is rising quickly.
