#Converted Paper Products Market Trends Influencing Long-Term Demand
Leading companies in the converted paper products market are focusing on developing sustainable packaging solutions, such as paper outer bags. This initiative aims to reduce their reliance on virgin plastics and enhance recyclability. Paper outer bags refer to packaging made from paper that encases products, replacing traditional plastic packaging. For instance, in October 2023, Walkers, a UK-based snack food company that manufactures potato crisps and other snack foods, launched new paper outer bags for its Baked crisps range. This particular effort is intended to reduce the use of virgin plastic by 180 tonnes per year and provides a packaging option that can be widely recycled in home recycling bins. The move is part of Walkers’ ongoing commitment to innovate and remove virgin plastic from their packaging to lower their carbon footprint.
