What Are The Major Factors Driving The Paper Chemicals Global Market Growth?
The growth of the paper chemicals market is propelled by the rising utilization of paper-based packaging. Paper containers, also known as paper packaging, provide an economical and effective substitute for transporting, storing, and moving various items. A large proportion of paper packaging products, such as soup cans, plates, and bowls, incorporate PFAS (which are paper chemicals). Paper-based packaging is easily recyclable, supporting sustainability efforts. For instance, as per Eurostat, a government agency based in Luxembourg, in October 2023, Europe generated approximately 80 million tons of packaging waste, with paper and cardboard comprising 41%, followed by plastic and glass each at 19%, wood at 16%, and metal at 5%. The recycling rates were 82% for paper and cardboard packaging, 78% for metal packaging, 76% for glass, 41% for plastic, and 31% for wooden packages among municipal packaging waste. Therefore, the increasing application of paper-based packaging, coupled with its inherent sustainability, is predicted to stimulate the growth of the paper chemicals market in the upcoming period.
