Industry Pain Points
Increasingly Stringent Global Regulations and Policies (Compliance Mandates)
Plastic ban/restriction orders: Many countries and regions around the world (EU, China, Canada, India, etc.) have legislated to ban or restrict certain single-use plastic packaging (e.g., shopping bags, straws, tableware, foam plastics) and mandate the use of alternative materials.
Extended Producer Responsibility System: Brands and producers are required to be responsible for the entire product life cycle, including packaging waste, and bear the cost of recycling, treatment, or reuse, prompting companies to actively choose materials that are more recyclable or degradable to reduce costs.
Packaging tax/virgin plastic tax: For example, the UK plastic packaging tax and the mandatory recycled content in the EU PPWR proposal punish the use of virgin plastics and encourage the use of recycled materials and environmentally friendly materials through economic leverage.
Mandatory recycling and recycled content targets: Regulations set minimum targets for packaging recycling rates and recycled plastic content in products, forcing supply chains to adopt recyclable designs and use environmentally friendly materials.
Meet Consumer Preferences and Enhance Brand Image (Market Demand)
Awakening of environmental awareness: Younger consumers (Gen Z, Millennials) in particular are highly concerned about sustainability and tend to choose brands with eco-friendly packaging and are willing to pay a premium for them. The use of environmentally friendly materials has become an important brand differentiator.
Corporate Social Responsibility and ESG Performance: Investors, rating agencies, and the public are increasingly concerned about a company's environmental, social, and governance performance. Adopting eco-friendly packaging is a key move to demonstrate corporate social responsibility, improve ESG scores, and attract investment and talent.
Avoid "greenwashing" doubts: Consumers demand more environmental authenticity, forcing companies to adopt truly sustainable and verifiable eco-friendly material solutions rather than false claims.
Resource Efficiency and Circular Economy Transition (Economic Drivers)
Risk of resource depletion: Oil resources are limited. Shifting to renewable resources (plant-based materials) or recycling existing resources (recycled materials) is a strategic choice to ensure long-term resource security and supply chain resilience.
Reduced waste management costs: Recyclable, compostable, and eco-friendly materials reduce municipal or business costs for waste collection, sorting, treatment, and landfill.
Creating a circular value chain: Environmentally friendly materials (especially well-designed recyclables) are the basis for building a closed-loop circular economy of "design-use-recycle-recycle-reuse", which can create new economic opportunities (e.g., recycled material market, recycling technology).
Reducing Toxic Impacts on Ecosystems (Health and Environmental Safety)
Harmful additives: Some traditional plastics contain or may release harmful chemicals (e.g., certain plasticizers, flame retardants, stabilizers). Eco-friendly materials, especially natural-based or certified safe materials, often focus more on non-toxic and harmless designs.
Bioaccumulation risk: The accumulation of microplastics and plastic additives in the environment and organisms has raised concerns about the potential risks to human health. Reducing plastic pollution sources is the fundamental solution.
