1.1 Evidence-Backed Conclusions

1) Market | Structural growth led by regulation rather than preference.Buyers increasingly prioritize auditable compliance packages (recognized certifications, accurate labeling, PFAS evidence, EPR readiness) over unit price alone — carbon footprint packaging. Market outlooks indicate durable growth (~6–7% CAGR to 2030), reinforcing that procurement criteria are converging on risk-adjusted TCO and compliance certainty instead of headline price. 2) Compliance | A clear inflection point across the EU and U.S.The EU Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) entered into force on 11 Feb 2025, with general application 18 months later. It tightens requirements on prevention, recyclability, reuse, labeling, and recycled content, superseding the prior Directive.
