Technology advancements are also driving the expansion of the green packaging market. More eco-friendly and long-lasting manufacturing techniques and materials are being developed. Biodegradable packaging materials, like plastics made from cornstarch, are becoming increasingly popular. As more consumers and manufacturers switch to sustainable food packaging, the market for green packaging is likely to expand in the coming years.
