Plastic Alternative Packaging Market Definition

The plastic alternative packaging market consists of sales of plastic alternative packaging by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that are engaged in manufacturing plastic alternative packaging products. Plastic alternative packaging products are innovative, eco-friendly alternatives to traditional materials and include biodegradable packaging, packaging products made from recycled materials, and plant-based packaging. Other packaging alternatives such as bees wax and paper are not included in the report. Only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are included. Non-recyclable plastic packaging has become a leading source of pollution worldwide. There are concerns about plastic in waste and in marine litter. Plastic litters many of the world's beaches, clogs city sewers and fuels a massive flow of plastic waste, killing wildlife including sea animals. In response, many countries have instituted stringent rules to control the use of plastic bags. China, for example, has issued complete bans on plastic bags. These concerns drive the demand for plastic alternative packaging.

Consumer electronics packaging is a protective covering for the products to ensure safe and secure shipping. Packaging is crucial, as electronic products have very tiny components that are delicate and prone to damage, It is used to protect the electronics from mechanical damage, electrostatic charge, natural disasters, and mishandling damage. Any electronic device intended for end users' or consumers' daily and non-commercial or professional use is known as consumer electronics (CE). The main types of products in consumer electronics packaging includes corrugated boxes, paperboard boxes, thermoformed trays, bags and pouches, blister packs and clamshells, protective packaging, and others. The corrugated boxes are used as packaging materials for a variety of goods such as food, stationery, electronics, medicine, etc. Corrugated boxes refer to cartons that are made up of a few layers of material instead of just a single sheet-like cardboard. Usually, three layers are present in corrugated boxes, which are stuck together to form a single sheet. The different technologies include active packaging, intelligent packaging, modified atmospheric packaging, anti-microbial packaging, aseptic packaging, and others. The various material types include plastic, paper, paperboard, and others that are used in mobile phones, computers, TVs, DTH and set-top boxes, music systems, printers, scanners, and photocopy machines, game consoles and toys, camcorders and cameras, and others.
