Food and beverage manufacturers across the globe are committed to expanding the use of recycled materials in their products. Several factors drive the continued growth in the use of these materials. According to one 2023 survey, 82% of consumers across a range of age demographics are willing to pay more for sustainable packaging1.
In the European Union, the goal is to have 55% of all plastic packaging be recyclable by 2030. And in the U.S., the packaging industry is participating in multiple efforts to improve the entire recycling value stream.
