The term ‘Halal’ refers to permitted
under Muslim law. Many of us assume that the term ‘Halal’ refers to food
only; however, Halal certification can apply to a number of categories,
including food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, cosmetic
products, and also packaging. Increasing population of the Muslim
community across the world, coupled with increasing awareness about
Halal certification, is anticipated to drive demand for Halal products
and services across the world in the coming years.
Major growth drivers for the Halal packaging market
include: growing Muslim population across the world, increased
marketability of products due to Halal certification, and improved
awareness about Halal certified products and services. However, the
increased cost of products in case of carrying out customized Halal
packaging can pose a threat to the market growth.
The Halal packaging market can be
segmented on the basis of end use industry, which typically includes
food and beverages, cosmetics, and others. It can also be classified on
the basis of various materials such as plastic and paper.
As the name suggests, Halal packaging
involves using Halal certified raw materials for packaging materials and
Halal certified lubricants for packaging machinery. The lubricants used
in packaging machinery should strictly avoid the use of porcine
stearates.
Generally, polymers are produced from
petroleum based raw materials. However, additives are added to the
polymers to improve their properties. For Halal consumers, the primary
concern is the usage of additives derived from indefinite sources for
the manufacture of polymer resins. The usage of additives which are
derived from non-halal animals (animals which are not permitted for
slaughtering according to Islamic law, such as swine) or from permitted
animals which were not slaughtered in accordance with Islamic
slaughtering / Halal rules, is prohibited for Muslim consumers.

With regards to Halal packaging, the
polymer resins utilized to produce the packaging material contain
additives derived from Halal sources and a certificate for guaranteeing
that the Halal reliability of the polymer resins is maintained
throughout the entire supply chain.
As per the Halal packaging practices,
during the manufacturing process, a qualitative investigation for
screening and identifying any trace of animal-based element used in
additives is conducted, and if any such element is found, it is
subsequently substituted with equivalent additives from Halal sources.
