2022 Sustainable Packaging Report

Consumer demand for sustainable packaging was already on the rise before the COVID-19 pandemic brought the value of healthy living—for both people and the planet—into even sharper focus. Spending more time at home also showed many consumers just how much packaging waste ends up in trash bins destined for landfills, inspiring an ever-louder call for change. Despite ongoing pandemic disruptions, grocery retailers and consumer packaged goods companies are working to honor their public pledges to adopt packaging that is recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2030 or sooner. In this report, WGB takes a closer look at the ways in which leading companies—from grocery retailers to CPGs and suppliers—are responding to demand for eco-friendly packaging.
