Top Innovations in Packaging Technology for 2024

One of the most notable trends in 2024 is the shift towards paper-based packaging, often referred to as "paperization

Another significant innovation is the use of biodegradable and ocean-based materials in packaging

Packaging designs are becoming increasingly complex, the report states, but machine learning and artificial intelligence can help recycling keep up
