As consumers demand products that are securely sealed and hygienically packaged, single-use solutions provide an effective way to maintain product quality and prevent contamination. This is especially crucial in sectors like baby food, pharmaceuticals, and ready-to-eat meals, where hygiene and convenience are paramount. Additionally, the increasing adoption of e-commerce and home delivery services has created a surge in demand for packaging that ensures the safe transport and protection of goods, further driving the growth of the market.

For instance, in July 2024 Thermo Fisher Scientific launched biobased films for single use bioprocessing containers (BPCs), earning ISCC Plus certification. The new films help biopharma manufacturers reduce environmental impact while maintaining operational efficiency. Thermo Fisher also offers a recycling program, diverting 400,000 pounds of plastic waste, supporting sustainability goals in bioproduction.
