Market Share of Europe Single-use Packaging Industry
The European single-use packaging market is fragmented, comprising several global and regional players like Berry Global Inc, Amcor Group GmbH, Huhtamäki Oyj, Hotpack Packaging Industries LLC, and more, vying for attention in a contested market space. This market is characterized by low product differentiation, growing levels of product penetration, and high levels of competition.
In July 2023, Graphic Packaging, a consumer packaging company specializing in fiber-based packaging solutions, joined forces with ABP, a food processor, to create two lines of refrigerated meat packaging for Aldi, a United Kingdom supermarket giant. The pressed board tray lines, designed for Aldi's core line and premium steak line, are designed to reduce the use of plastic packaging by approximately 90% compared to the existing packaging format, aligning with Aldi's objective of eliminating 2 billion plastic packaging pieces from their supply chain by the end of 2025.
In June 2023, Waddington Europe, a division of Novolex, a leading European thermoplastic packaging specialist, established itself as the supplier of a complete selection of soft fruit punnets for the UK market. These punnets are designed to be more recyclable and less plastic-intensive than traditional punnets. They are available in various sizes, including oversized, square, and standard rectangular punnets, all manufactured using Waddington's innovative mono-material cushion technology.
