landfill, and loss in soil fertility. This has impacted on the recent social scenario. Stringent laws implemented by most
of the nations over the use of plastic bags & carriers. Countries like South Africa, Uganda, Somalia, Rwanda
Botswana, Kenya & Ethiopia all have implemented total ban over the usage of plastic bags. The increase in consumer
demand for use of green packaging for organic foods is also a key driver in the sector. Various companies across the
world such as Hovis has launched bread packed using renewable polyethylene. Gillette razors, Dixie Egg Company,
Wolfgang Puck Coffee, etc. has come up with amazing packaging formats. These packaging style, which would not

The key restraints for this industry could be over capacity. Owing to its cheaper price, non-bio degradable plastic bags
are still considered to be the best and the most desired packaging material globally. Hence packaging companies are
not able to match the selling volume with their production capacity. Raw materials such as Bio-based monomers, liquid
biofuels, cellulosic and recyclable fiber, bio-polymers used in films, additives, and barriers are much expensive. This in
turn increases the cost to consumers. The most latest trends for this industry are the preference of light weighted
packaging material over bulky ones, increase in the recycling of bio waste and innovative and improved packaging
processes.
The sustainable packaging industry provides a wide door of opportunities for the suppliers as well as for the
manufacturers. The suppliers of can provide raw material to the new players in the market who have invested in the
sustainable packaging industry such as Dell. Dell has start shipping its products in packaging with fungus material
combined mushroom & wheat straw.
