A sustainable packaging method referred to as “green packaging” is one that uses biodegradable materials like plant-based polymers, recycled paper, Styrofoam, and previously used polyethylene (PE) bags. The growing emphasis on sustainability and waste reduction in Japan is reflected in the country’s green packaging sector.
In order to increase trash collection, the Government of Japan (GoJ) is adopting novel disposal alternatives, which is further fostering market expansion. Additionally, the widespread use of green packaging in the food and beverage (F&B) industry as a result of its ability to displace air and customers’ evolving preferences toward practical packaging solutions are both contributing to the market growth in the nation.
The Japan Green Packaging Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
In 19 stores all around Japan, Aeon introduced products in Loop’s sustainable packaging. For everyday consumables like food, detergents, and shampoos that produce unnecessary waste and worsen the consequences of climate change, Aeon will stop using the disposable containers and packaging that are in use.
The cooperation will now see these exact things in new environmentally friendly packaging like stainless steel and glass that is not only incredibly durable but can also be used repeatedly.
Customers buy these Loop products in reusable packaging that is somewhat more expensive than standard products. Once they have finished using the product, they may dump the used container in the Loop return box at any Aeon store.
The only domestic shop that can handle Loop products for almost a year from the start of sales is Aeon due to this new effort.
The grocery chain even collaborated with the Hong Kong-based environmental charity Greener Action to offer coupons and discounts to customers who bring their own reusable bags and refrain from using single-use plastic goods while placing orders from in-store food outlets.
A “plastic disaster,” according to the NGO, is what the disposable trend in Hong Kong has become. Currently, Loop is even collaborating with fast food major Burger King to move to reusables, beauty retail powerhouse Uta Beauty, and retail behemoth Carrefour in Paris to offer their foods and beauty items in refillable packaging, respectively.
