The Challenges of Pet Food Packaging
Balancing environmental sustainability, product preservation, and consumer convenience (resealability) is the most significant challenge facing the pet food industry.
- Sustainability and new EU regulations: By 2030, 70% of packaging must be recyclable, and plastic must contain between 10% and 35% recycled material.
- Barrier properties and preservation: Pet food is rich in fats and flavorings that must be preserved with an airtight seal.
- Environmental labelling: Clear indication of the material and disposal instructions are required.
- Opening/closing functionality: growing demand for “easy-to-use” solutions such as freshness-sealing zippers.
The market is shifting toward flexible packaging, which is lighter and results in less waste of raw materials.
