Glass Packaging Market Growth Drivers:

Glass to Substitute the Enormous Plastic Empire-

Implementation of stringent bans on the use of plastic by countries worldwide is a major factor diverting substantial traffic from plastic packaging towards the eco-friendly and recyclable glass packaging market. As per the Plastic Oceans Organization, more than eight million tons of plastic are dumped into the oceans every year and owing to such alarming circumstances, the U.N. launched the #CleanSeas campaign to eliminate marine litter by 2022. With plastics being eradicated due to ecological concerns, glass packaging remains the primary option due to its recyclable properties. Furthermore, glass is resistant and non-porous; thus it cannot contaminate the product packed inside it. This is increasing its application in the cosmetic packaging market and pharmaceutical packaging market.
