Recent forecasts from Research & Markets suggests the plant-based food market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.9% from 2020 to 2027 to reach US$74.2 billion. Food manufacturers and retailers, from start-up challenger brands to the world’s largest meat companies, are innovating in this category and developing next generation plant-based alternatives for meat, eggs, and dairy products.
Distribution of such products is growing, and a number of mainstream consumers are now buying plant-based options, alongside their purchases of conventional meats.
At Eco Flexibles, we recognise that consumers buying plant-based food alternatives are often seeking their product packaging to be aligned to the environmental messages they are receiving about the benefits of plant-based protein. As such, we work with brands, packers and retailers to design and develop new lightweight, recyclable and recycled material-containing flexible packaging solutions that align directly with the planet-friendly values these products commit to.
