Moulded and formed Fibre Packaging is going through a revolution. In 2023, the moulded fibre production reached an estimated 11.8 million tonnes and is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 5% to 2028, to a total of slightly over 15 million tonnes.
Retail sales trends have a significant impact on moulded fibre packaging demand, with around two-thirds of volume consumption accounted for in retail and foodservice applications. Market drivers include growing environmental concerns and public awareness of plastic waste and the need to reduce consumption of single use plastics, with many governments introducing rules and regulations to combat this. With applications spanning egg packaging to automotive parts and fast-food trays, the future prospects for moulded fibre packaging are extremely positive.
Advances in moulded fibre technology are improving the performance and viability of these products which are now becoming more durable, versatile, and cost effective. Coating technologies are opening up new market applications for these pack formats with printing and labelling techniques adding to their opportunities for advancement.
This event offers a platform for paper and fibre-based packaging industry professionals seeking to advance sustainable packaging solutions, to discuss new ideas and opportunities and network with high-level players from across the supply chain.
This will be great opportunity to learn about current cutting edge technical changes from industry experts.
