Adopting sustainable practices has become an important part of our lives. Environmental-conscious consumers prefer to spend their money on eco-friendly solutions.

In 2022, the eco-friendly food packaging market was valued at over USD 170 Billion. This number is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of over 6.5% between 2023 and 2032. This rise is due to the growing demand for eco-friendly containers for meals, takeaway items or grocery storage.

Let's learn more about eco-friendly containers in the food packaging industry.

Food Container Material

Thermoforming

Injection Moulding

  •      Thermoforming is a process where PP/HIPS sheets are heated until pliable, forming them over a mould, and trimming them to create containers. 
  •    This method is ideal for producing various eco-friendly food packaging containers, like yogurt cups and more.
  •    Its cost-effectiveness and lightweight offer a sustainable solution for eco-friendly container materials.

·         Injection moulding process involves melting eco-friendly pellets and then injecting the molten material into a mould.

·         It's suitable for packaging products that have intricate features like single-serve cups, lids, and containers.

·         This process is prized for its precision, consistency, and ability to produce high-strength, eco-friendly packaging food containers.
