Description

This report discusses the global packaging regulatory landscape. This report does not provide market sizing or demand forecasts for packaging products but instead offers qualitative assessments of regulatory exposure and strategic implications through 2034.

For the purposes of this report, packaging refers to all materials and containers used to contain, protect, transport, and market products throughout the supply chain. The definition encompasses both primary and secondary packaging used for consumer and industrial goods, with emphasis on applications that directly influence product performance, shelf presentation, and compliance with regulatory or sustainability standards.

While tertiary or transport packaging is acknowledged where relevant to policy or waste-management frameworks, the primary focus of this report remains on packaging that directly interfaces with the product or is visible to the end user.

A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
