Canada Plant-Based Packaging Market : Overview

Plant-based packaging is produced from natural, renewable plant materials. Unlike many forms of standard packaging, such as plastics, it is fully organic and can take numerous forms.

Plant-based packaging employs materials derived from sustainably cultivated plants rather than non-renewable hydrocarbon sources. When food manufacturers or contract packagers mention "plant-based packaging," they usually mean bioplastics, the most popular plant-derived polymers. Currently, two common forms of bioplastics are in use: biodegradable PLA and bio-PET. While both come from plants, they are manufactured in distinct ways.

Biodegradable PLA, or polylactic acid, is created by bacterial fermentation of dextrose into lactic acid. Many food businesses have already switched to plant-based packaging, while others are in the process. The benefits of plant-based packaging are numerous, particularly given the significant reduction in manufacturing costs since its introduction. Depending on the plant-based bioplastic used, it offers comparable or higher protection to petroleum-based alternatives.
