With an ever-growing focus on planet preservation from both a community and federal perspective, industries in all sectors are making strides toward reducing their products’ environmental footprint. The snack food industry enjoys a wide scope of community engagement and is actively pursuing more sustainable options for the flexible packaging they use.
The Importance of Snack Food Packaging Sustainability
A recent survey taken by Swedish food processing company Tetra Pak revealed consumers are now more cognizant of, and also on the lookout for sustainable food packaging products. 37% of respondents reported they look for environmental logos and taglines on product packaging and 54% find eco labels trustworthy.
With this in mind, packaging manufacturers worldwide have been exploring newer and more effective ways to enhance the sustainable attributes of existing packaging and to develop new materials and processes to manufacture snack food packaging in a more eco-friendly manner.
