World Green Packaging NEW Forecasts for 2015 & 2020 in 18 countries

This study analyzes the world green packaging market, with a focus on recycled content, reusable and degradable packaging. Green packaging is broadly defined as packaging that is designed to lessen environmental impact. Recycled content packaging includes paper, metal, glass and plastic products. Reusable packaging includes drums, plastic containers, intermediate bulk containers and other (e.g., bulk water bottles, dunnage bags and reusable packaging in nonbulk sizes). Degradable packaging includes films and other products such as ring carriers; containers; cups, plates and bowls; loose-fill; and protective packaging. Markets for green packaging include food, beverages, consumer products and other (e.g., shipping, chemicals, foodservice). 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 (2000, 2005 and 2010) and forecasts for 2015 and 2020 are presented. Unless otherwise noted, all figures represent demand for green packaging in current US dollars (i.e., including inflation). The terms “market,” “sales,” “consumption” and “demand” refer to apparent consumption, and are defined as shipments (also referred to variously as “production,” “output” or “supply”) from a country’s indigenous manufacturing facilities plus imports minus exports. Tabular details may not add to totals due to independent rounding, and some ratios are based on unrounded numbers. Throughout the study, demand for green packaging is related to various indicators for comparative purposes and to facilitate further analysis.
