Description

Industry Insights: Mono-Materials in Packaging

Summary

This report examines the evolving role in the FMCG market for more sustainable single-material packaging.

The mono-material trend in packaging refers to the shift from multi-layer, composite structures toward packs made from a single material type (e.g. all-paper or all-plastic). As regulations increasingly penalize hard-to-recycle formats, mono-material packaging helps brands improve recyclability scores, reduce EPR fees, and simplify compliance reporting. 

Scope
  • Mono-Materials' growth is incentivized by regulation, as the need to meet recycling, reuse, and Extended Producer Responsibility requirements can be answered more effectively with more cleanly recyclable mono-materials.
  • Consumer demand for mono-material packaging is driven by concerns over recyclability and microplastics.
  • Functionalized fiber options are being developed providing enhanced protection, while coatings and laminations that are mono-material in nature or biodegrade alongside paper are an option.
  • Packaging brands and their customers need to achieve efficiency of design and informational transparency around mono-material efforts to achieve credible sustainability.
Reasons to Buy
  • Understand the relevant consumer trends and attitudes that drive and support innovation success so you can tap into what is really impacting the industry.
  • Gain a broader appreciation of the fast-moving consumer goods industry by gaining insights from both within and outside of your sector.
  • Access valuable strategic take-outs to help direct future decision-making and inform new product development.

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.
