The past several weeks have seen mainstream media reporting on important trends that are shaping the food and beverage packaging landscape.  In particular, rising consumer, retailer, and brand owner attention to Sustainability, Food Safety, and Health and Wellness are shaping the evolution of packaging. 

Here are a few hot topics that are standing out:

1. Retailers demanding more transparent reporting of packaging footprint.

2. Water footprint of food and beverage products is increasingly being scrutinized in addition to carbon footprint.

3. Consumer concern over the migration of chemical contaminants into food and beverages is prompting regulatory agencies to take closer look at established packaging materials and processes.

4. Consumers are demanded accountability from packaged food and beverage providers on the microbiological safety of their products.

5. The demand for more healthy food and beverage options continue, despite economic downturn.
