Waste Reform and Packaging Trends for 2025
In 2025, we continue to promote environmentally friendly production and consumption. Packaging production is moving steadily toward sustainability and innovation. Moreover, the European Union’s waste reform and new regulations are pushing both producers and consumers to embrace circular economy practices. Here are some examples of what this entails.
Design
Minimalist and functional design is becoming the standard. Using less material not only reduces production waste but also cuts transport costs and environmental impacts.
Reducing Plastic Use
There is an increasing emphasis on optimizing plastic usage and reducing waste. The global plastics treaty aims to minimize plastic use, paving the way for innovative and sustainable solutions.
Reusable Packaging
The EU’s new packaging regulations increase the demand for reusable packaging. Beyond waste reduction, the goal is to enhance producers’ capacity for innovation. Examples like refillable product packaging are growing in popularity.
Preference for Secondary Raw Materials
According to EU requirements, Estonia will need to begin producing materials from recycled waste plastic. This means that packaging made from recycled materials will become the norm.
Producing recycled materials requires clean waste material. Starting in 2025, clearer packaging labeling will be mandated to help consumers sort and separate waste more effectively.
The packaging trends for 2025 emphasize the need for responsible and conscious production and consumption, fostering the spread of green thinking among both producers and consumers.
At Ecoprint, we believe every new packaging solution should be a step toward a more sustainable future. If you’re looking for solutions that meet contemporary trends and practical needs, get in touch with us—together, we can create something truly unique and environmentally friendly.
