There\u2019s something joyful about ordering delicious food from one of your favorite establishments and taking it home, so I decided to focus this month on what consulting groups are saying about the foodservice packaging market and, specifically, the sustainable foodservice packaging market.<\/p>\n<p>Market Research Forecast (MRF) recently published Sustainable Food Service Packaging Market Insights, to 2032. MRF pegged the global Sustainable Food Service Packaging Market size at $36.4 billion in 2023 and projects it will reach $49.2 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"relatedBox\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/104866-sea-tac-airport-moves-to-all-reusable-or-compostable-foodservice-materials\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n<aside class=\"relatedContainer\">\n<h3>FOOD SERVICE PACKAGING<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/104866-sea-tac-airport-moves-to-all-reusable-or-compostable-foodservice-materials\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SEA-TAC Airport Moves to All Reusable or Compostable Foodservice Materials<\/a><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Not surprisingly, some of the key players profiled in the MRF study are companies that we report on routinely, including Amcor Plc, Mondi Group, Sealed Air Corporation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/104791-sustainability-beyond-the-carton-caps-and-straws\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Tetra Pak International<\/a>, Huhtamaki Oyj, Smurfit Kappa Group, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/104536-2023-top-25-converters-consolidation-focus-on-sustainability\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sonoco Products Company<\/a>, Ardagh Group, Ball Corporation, and Crown Holdings Inc.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sustainability food service packaging relates to the use of environmentally friendly PFP materials that are in contrast to conventional disposable ones,\u201d MRF said in a press release. \u201cThese are the fully compostable\/biodegradable items that can be made from plant materials such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/104799-liplid-and-duni-group-announce-partnership-for-sustainable-take-away-solutions\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">bagasse, bamboo or plant fibers<\/a>.

Some of them include their easiness of disintegrating naturally, their environmental friendliness and the possibility of being recycled in a closed-loop system.
