The report, now available on ASDReports, recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global Food Contact Paper and Board Market: International Paper, Mondi, Nordic Paper Holding and Smurfit Kappa Group

Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: Burrows Paper, Cascades, Georgia-Pacific, Glatfelter, Huhtamaki, Intertek, Pactiv and Seaman Paper

Commenting on the report, an analyst from The report’s team said: “Consumers and regulatory bodies are becoming increasingly aware of environmental issues. In response to this, manufacturers now prefer to use paper-based packaging materials that are recyclable or biodegradable. In recent years, manufacturers have focused on developing a new barrier technology to develop a coating that can be readily recycled.”

According to the report, food contact paper packaging material is flexible and provides protection to the food from external elements such as air, dust, and moisture. Reduction of food wastage has become a major concern globally. Many fast food companies are using contact papers for their products, serving in the food service and take-out food industries. These papers are easy to handle, hygienic, and easily disposable, and they reduce the costs for fast food vendors as they serve as a replacement for plates.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the extraction of barrier coatings from the paper at the end of its life cycle for reusability.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
