The growing trend of compostable packaging in supermarkets and the prepared-foods industry
In recent years, the sustainable-packaging industry has seen significant growth, driven by rising environmental awareness and the need to reduce the impact of single-use plastics. Compostable packaging is steadily gaining ground in supermarkets, major food packers and, above all, in the ready-meals segment.
Market growth of compostable packaging
The compostable-packaging market has shown steady, promising growth. The sector is expected to grow at a 5.1% CAGR through 2028, reflecting strong demand for sustainable solutions in the food industry.
Market studies also indicate that adoption of compostable packaging in supermarkets and prepared-food companies has grown exponentially in recent years, spurred by environmental regulation and consumer pressure for greener options.
