Packaged food products are increasingly incorporating nutraceutical ingredients, catering to health-conscious consumers. Nutraceutical packaging plays a crucial role in providing clear labeling and health claims, enabling consumers to make informed choices. For instance, in 2022, the total value of US processed food products exported reached $38 billion, reflecting a 10.96% increase from $34.24 billion in 2021, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Additionally, retail sales of packaged foods in Japan are projected to reach US$235.9 billion by 2026, marking a 9.1% increase or US$19.6 billion from 2022.

Major companies in the nutraceutical packaging sector are introducing new solutions, including sustainable packaging. For instance, in April 2022, Amcor Inc., a Switzerland-based packaging and containers manufacturing company, launched High Shield laminates as part of its pharmaceutical packaging portfolio. These sustainable packaging options, available in paper-based and Polyolefin-based materials, offer both high barrier performance and recyclability, aligning with the sustainability goals of pharmaceutical companies. The innovative material structure ensures recycling compliance, supports market differentiation, and allows manufacturers to utilize existing filling machines without additional investments.

Prominent companies in the nutraceutical packaging market are also developing new recyclable materials to address plastic consumption and waste concerns.

This water-based, plant-sourced coating, approved for food contact, serves as an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based materials like EVOH commonly used in food packaging. MelOx NGen not only extends the shelf life of food products but also promotes environmental sustainability by increasing the recyclability of plastic food packaging.
