Foam Packaging Market Trends

Polystyrene foam packaging is responsible for a lot of waste generation as it is extensively used in the food & beverages industry to manufacture cups, trays, etc. due to its light weight. Moreover, it is not degradable and may break into small pieces, which is very difficult to clean up. Aquatic as well as terrestrial animals mistakenly consume polystyrene foams, which is potentially fatal for a number of species. As a result, several governing bodies have imposed partial or total ban on foam packaging materials. For instance, New York city has imposed ban on single use foam products due to the environmental waste created by it. These increasing regulations are likely to hamper the foam packaging industry size over the stipulated time period.
