Consequently, many industries have to adhere to green packaging as a part of their Extended Producers Responsibility (EPR). This factor is also boosting the market to a great extent. In addition, the use of green packaging gives competitive advantage to industry over other market players since consumers prefer products having sustainable packaging over others. Owing to this factor, the demand for green packaging is increasing and expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period.
However, reduction in profit margin due to increase in production cost is one of the factors restraining the growth of green packaging market.
