10 Jan 2024 --- Demand for recyclable monomaterial options is increasing as regulations on packaging become more stringent, and a rise in out-of-home consumption is following the relaxation of COVID-19 pandemic regulations, according to Katri Saarenheimo, interim head of Global Communications at Huhtamaki. Saarenheimo says the company is observing increasing demand for packaging options that are recyclable and home compostable, and interest in smarter materials. “We equally welcome the increasing interest seen to innovate solutions across the value chain for better collection and recycling infrastructure for packaging.” “Many of our customers across FMCG, retail and QSR have set specific targets on these topics, and more sustainable packaging solutions play an essential role in achieving those targets,” Saarenheimo tells Packaging Insights.
