In 2022, packaging in Canada was consumer-centric, with their lifestyles and demands shaping the packaging industry. Sustainability was the key concern driving packaging innovation in Canada in 2022. The Canadian government released its Single-Use Plastic Packaging Regulations (SUPPR) in 2022, beginning its phasing out of single-use plastic packaging as part of its 2030 goal of eliminating plastic waste. This encouraged a move away from plastic in various packaging categories.

The Packaging in Canada report offers insight into key trends and developments in the industry. The report also examines trends and prospect for various pack types and closures: metal packaging, rigid plastic, glass, liquid cartons, paper-based containers; flexible packaging.
