Sustainability Is No Longer Just A Trend
In 2025, consumers aren’t just passively preferring sustainable practices, they're demanding them. A recent report revealed that 78% of global consumers say a sustainable lifestyle is important to them, and nearly 2 in 3 are willing to pay more for products with sustainable packaging.
But it’s not just consumer pressure driving change. Governments around the world are implementing stricter regulations around single-use plastics. In the U.S., California’s SB54 law will require plastic packaging to be 100% recyclable or compostable by 2032. The European Union is going even further with bans on microplastics and single-use plastic items already in full effect. Doing nothing isn’t just risky anymore, it’s expensive.
The Hidden Costs of Inaction
Failing to adapt to sustainable packaging standards can result in:
● Regulatory fines and compliance issues
● Loss of market share to more eco-conscious competitors
● Brand reputation damage in the eyes of increasingly vocal consumers
● Difficulty securing retail partnerships, especially with companies like Walmart and Amazon now requiring sustainability reports from their suppliers

Sustainability That Drives ROI
