GLOBAL BLACK PLASTIC PACKAGING MARKET

INTRODUCTION

Black-colored plastic receives its colour from carbon black pigment and is often used in food containers such as meat or produce trays and take-out, as well as disposable coffee lids, plastic bags, and hard plastic products such as DVD cases and planters.

The majority of typical black plastic packaging is coloured with carbon black pigments, which prevents the pack from being sorted using Near Infrared (NIR) technology, which is commonly employed in plastics recycling. As a result, black plastic packaging frequently ends up as residue and is disposed of in a landfill or burnt.

A black plastic mulch conserves soil moisture by preventing it from evaporating. Just the exposed soil in the holes where the vegetable plants are growing loses water to evaporation. 

GLOBAL BLACK PLASTIC PACKAGING MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

The Global Black Plastic Packaging market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.

NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

Unilever introduces new visible and recyclable black plastic packaging. Unilever recently introduced a new pigment that makes black plastics identifiable by recycling equipment, as part of its efforts to improve the recyclability of its packaging portfolio.

Black plastic packaging is not recyclable through kerbside collections in the UK or most other European countries because its carbon content prevents it from being recognised by infrared sorting methods used in reprocessing plants.

To tackle this recycling difficulty, Unilever teamed with RECOUP, WRAP, and waste management behemoths Veolia, SUEZ, Viridor, and TOMRA to develop a plastics colouring solution with a lower carbon content.

After a series of experiments established that the solution made black plastics identifiable inexisting recycling processes, Unilever this week revealed intentions to begin transitioning its TRESemmé and Lynx packaging to the substance by the end of this year.

After the changeover is complete, the company estimates that it will divert up to 2,500 tonnes of black plastic from waste and incineration each year. Unilever will also begin purchasing recycled black plastic streams and has committed to employ 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics in its Lynx and TRESemme packaging by the end of the year.

Gourmet dairy brand The Collective was the first to employ "detectable" black plastic in the fast-moving consumer goods sector. The lids of its yoghurt containers were changed last September from typical black plastic to Colour Tone Masterbatch, which is "seen" as green by near-infrared scanners.
