FoodChain ID has launched Sustainable Packaging Services, a suite of products and expert-guided services to help food brands and their supply chains meet market demands for sustainable packaging. Sustainable Packaging Services combines new and existing digital services that enable manufacturers to monitor and respond to changing global regulations on sustainable packaging.
Sustainability remains a key focus for CPG companies, with consumer demand and regulations both driving the market. In the EU, for example, a major proposed regulation covers packaging and its waste to ensure that all packaging on the EU market is reusable or has the provision for high-quality, closed-loop recycling in an economically viable way by 2030. Concurrently in the U.S., diverse regulations at the state level are creating a need for real-time regulatory monitoring. To date, 12 U.S. states have banned single-use plastic bags, and four states have adopted Extended Producer Responsibility laws to help fund recycling programs.
