Eco-Friendly Packaging Trends 2025: Sustainability Shapes the Future of Global Brands

As sustainability continues to dominate the packaging industry, 2025 is expected to bring even greater transformation across global supply chains. From retail packaging to industrial solutions, eco-conscious materials and innovative designs are setting new benchmarks for brands worldwide.

1. Sustainability Becomes a Core Brand Value

Today’s consumers are not only buying products—they’re buying into brand values. According to recent market research, over 70% of consumers prefer products with recyclable or biodegradable packaging. This shift has pushed both established and emerging brands to integrate sustainability into their core strategies, seeking suppliers who can provide certified, environmentally responsible materials.

2. Demand for Customizable, Low-Impact Materials

Brands are increasingly favoring paper-based and recyclable plastic solutions that balance aesthetics and performance. Materials like kraft paper, RPET, and FSC-certified paper are becoming mainstream, supported by modern printing and converting technologies that maintain high transparency and durability with reduced environmental impact.

3. The Role of OEM/ODM Suppliers in Green Innovation
