Therefore, the market is witnessing a substantial shift towards sustainable and biodegradable packaging options including recyclable packaging, which is anticipated to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific recyclable Packaging Market – Overview

Any type of packaging that can be recycled and used again qualifies as recyclable packaging. Paper, metals, glass, and certain plastics are among the commonly used recyclable materials. Recyclable packaging offers various environmental benefits, which is why it is gaining huge popularity across industries. It decreases the overall usage of heavy energy resources, which results in a decrease in the number of greenhouse gasses discharged into the environment and a corresponding decrease in carbon footprint. As a result, corporations and consumers are prominently inclining toward recyclable packaging.

Growth Drivers

Rapid Shift of Industries Toward Recyclable Packaging

With the growing consumer–consciousness towards sustainable packaging, corporations are increasingly switching to recyclable packaging materials. Utilizing recyclable packaging has several advantages since it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and saves energy and raw materials during manufacture. The use of recyclable packaging not only has environmental benefits but also helps the company in building a positive reputation and brand image among its customers.

Restraints

Lower Profit Margins for Corporations

Most corporations often opt for plastic as the main packaging choice because of its lower cost. However, with increasing government regulations and consumer awareness regarding the use of recyclable packaging, the manufacturing cost of products is increasing. Multinational corporations often perform in–house recycling of waste packaging. This eventually increases the cost of the product, which is to be borne by the consumers. This acts as a major restraining factor for the Asia-Pacific recyclable packaging market.

Impact of COVID -19 on Asia-Pacific recyclable Packaging Market

The COVID–19 pandemic outbreak offered significant growth opportunities to the Asia-Pacific recyclable packaging market. The demand for the packaging spiked from certain industries including healthcare, food, and e–commerce. However, the recyclable packaging industry was halted as it does not come under essential industry. This temporarily halted its market growth. But the discussion surrounding sustainability and environmental–consciousness among consumers, especially the younger demographic, increased, the Asia-Pacific recyclable packaging market registered substantial growth and is anticipated to flourish significantly in the post-pandemic period as well.
