With Plastics Being Relegated to Second Position, Paper Packaging Materials to Gain Preference

Currently, paper is the most used packaging material in the world. The leading position that paper enjoys will be further accentuated by the increasing emphasis that governments are laying on banning environmentally-unsafe plastic packaging. For instance, the usage of lightweight plastic bags has been banned, and consumers themselves are making a conscious effort embrace products packaged in paper. Moreover, packaging material made from plastic is vulnerable to the instabilities in the prices of raw materials. The rising cost of energy has also deterred companies from relying solely on plastic packaging materials.As an alternative to plastic materials, the use of paper has gained traction in recent years. Companies in the paper packaging materials market are developing eco-friendly and sustainable products that can be reused and recycled.
