Market Dynamics

Growing environmental concern over the use of plastic is expected to drive the market of aluminum foil container

Every year, a massive amount of packaging wastes is generated that is mostly plastic packaging. As per Environmental Protection Agency, containers and packaging make up a significant portion of municipal solid waste (MSW), amounting to 82.2 million tons of generation in 2018.

In recent years, consumer backlash has emerged against disposable plastic products.

Consequently, many are calling for increased government and industry intervention to address the growing problem.

On the other hand, aluminum foil containers are mostly recyclable and can be used again, reducing the amount of waste generated by packaging. As per Aluminum Foil Container Manufacture Association, all of the nearly 7 billion aluminum foil containers produced annually are 100% recyclable.

Henceforth, environmental regulations over the use of plastics and the recyclable nature of aluminum are expected to increase the foil containers market during the forecast period.
