Paper, Plastic & Packaging
Trends & Challenges 2025
In 2025, the paper, plastic and packaging sector is transforming under the impetus of new regulatory requirements and the evolution of consumer expectations.
High paper production costs
The increase in the price of raw materials, exacerbated by the effects of climate change, is putting increased pressure on margins.
Complexity of recycled materials
Despite a growing demand for sustainable materials, the production of recycled materials remains more expensive and technically challenging than that of traditional materials.
Plastic waste management
The project to tighten European standards restricting the export of plastic waste paves the way for investment in local treatment solutions.
Towards circularity
In the face of the growing momentum towards a circular economy, industry stakeholders must assess the impact on packaging design and the management of their end of life.
Recycled content in packaging
The regulations requiring increasing percentages of recycled materials in packaging are driving companies to innovate in the design of more responsible packaging.
Increased public awareness
Consumers demand greater clarity on the ecological impact of products. Companies that can provide precise traceability and concrete commitments can turn this into a competitive advantage.
