One of the primary challenges is the limited production capacity of Eco-Friendly materials. Traditional packaging materials like plastic are produced in massive quantities, and their supply chains are well-established. In contrast, Eco-Friendly materials, such as bioplastics or sustainable paper, may have more limited production capacities. As a result, it can be challenging to source enough to meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging. The increasing demand for Eco-Friendly materials has led to a surge in interest, but supply has not always kept pace with demand. As more companies and industries seek to adopt sustainable packaging, it can strain the available supply of Eco-Friendly materials, leading to shortages or price increases.
