Abstracts

In many food-packaging applications, including stand-up pouches and flow wrappers, films are typically made using mixed materials in the structure. When different types of plastics are combined in a single package, it can be challenging to separate and recycle them effectively, leading to contamination and reduced quality of recycled materials. The widely used multi-material packaging film cannot be practically delaminated and recycled at scale.

Mono-material packaging involves using a single type of recyclable plastic to avoid the issues associated with mixed recycling. By designing packaging using only one type of recyclable plastic, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the recycling process becomes more streamlined and efficient. Mono-material packaging eliminates the need for complex sorting and separation processes, increasing the likelihood of the material being recycled and reducing the chances of contamination. The use of mono-materials packaging films increases recycling rates and creates higher quality recyclate, reducing waste and strengthening the post-consumer recycled (PCR) supply chain.

The global mono-material packaging market is experiencing significant growth due to increasing demand for sustainable and recyclable packaging solutions. The Global Market for Mono-material Packaging 2024-2035 provides an in-depth analysis of the mono-material packaging market, including market drivers, challenges, opportunities, and future trends.
