Green Packaging NEW US industry forecasts for 2014 & 2019

This study analyzes the green packaging market in the United States, with a focus on recycled content, reusable and degradable packaging. Recycled content packaging includes paper, metal, glass and plastic products. Green packaging is broadly defined as packaging that is designed to lessen environmental impact. In addition to the products covered in the study, the overview section discusses other factors related to green packaging, including source reduction, recycling, renewable resources, non-biodegradable bioplastics, nontoxic materials and energy efficiency. Markets for green packaging include food, beverages, consumer products, shipping, chemicals, foodservice and other (e.g., agricultural products, durable goods). Excluded from the scope of the study are most types of flexible packaging; caps and closures; retail, trash and yard waste bags; and cutlery. Although nonbiodegradable bioplastics are considered by many as a green packaging material, they are covered in this study only as an emerging competitive material.

Historical data (1999, 2004 and 2009) and forecasts to 2014 and 2019 are presented for recycled content packaging, reusable packaging and degradable packaging by value in current dollars (including inflation) and pounds. Data in the study represent the actual poundage of paper, plastic, metal or glass consumed and exclude conversion loss. “Demand” (or sales, apparent consumption) is defined as all shipments from US plants, plus imports minus exports.
