Stand-up Pouches Market Trends

Stand-up Pouches Market Trends

The rising concerns toward reducing the carbon footprint and shifts toward sustainability are creating a demand for packaging solutions, which can reduce the burden on the environment. The increased usage of plastics needs to be addressed owing to their mounting environmental impacts. Organizations are joining forces to develop forms, such as pouches, zippers, and certain films, to act as barriers from light and moisture, which can be reused for various purposes instead of using plastics bottles.
 

For instance, in February 2022, companies, such as Mondi and Henkel, are assisting consumers to wash dishes more sustainably with the new reuse packaging concept. Companies collaborated to develop flexible pouches to address the issue of plastic bottles used for hand dishwashing. The global demand to increase reusability and reducing fossil-based plastics is significantly getting importance and through the flexible pouches developed, Henkel is set to achieve the sustainability targets of accomplishing 100% recyclable packaging solutions.
 

The increasing demand for eco-friendly packages is acting as a promoter in various food and beverages departments. To configure the circular economy and the aim to improve the recyclability of the stand-up pouches, companies are increasingly investing in mono materials for developing packaging solutions. Engineering advancements have led to packaging solutions that are heat & light resistant while remaining lightweight, thereby reducing transportation weight.
 

For instance, in August 2023, Mondi Group collaborated with Fressnapf to switch its packaging to a new range of premium mono-material recyclable solutions using process color printing technology. These mono-material packaging solutions provide strong barrier properties providing protection from moisture, fat, and odor, and are strong and flexible to pack & store.
