Sugarcane Pack

Brands use sugarcane as an alternative to harmful plastic packaging

Trend - Sugarcane is being used as a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic packaging, with brands that range from beauty and skincare, to food brands now adapting the eco-friendly material into their products.

Insight - As the consequences of climate change increasingly make themselves known, more consumers are being mindful of their consumption habits, and how they might contribute to environmental harm. Brands that help empower customers to be more eco-friendly are thus becoming increasingly important.
Workshop Question - How is your brand prioritizing sustainability?
Trend Themes
1. Sugarcane Packaging - Sugarcane is being used as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic packaging, with brands from beauty, skincare to food sectors adapting the sustainable material into their products.
2. Carbon-neutral Packaging - Brands are partnering with fuel recycling companies and using carbon as raw materials to produce sustainable packaging, which gives an alternative to harmful bio-plastics.
3. Sustainable Packaging Materials - Brands are going beyond typical materials and turning to tree-free paper made from upcycled sugarcane to create eco-friendly packaging solutions for their products.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty & Skincare - The beauty and skincare sector has a significant opportunity to innovate sustainable and eco-friendly packaging options, implementing carbon-neutral and sugarcane packaging materials.
2. Food & Beverages - The food and beverage industry can adopt sustainable packaging solutions, taking advantage of carbon-capture technology and eco-friendly packaging materials such as sugarcane-based bio-plastics and tree-free paper.
3. Retail & Consumer Goods - Retailers and consumer goods businesses have the potential to make a significant positive impact on the environment by adopting eco-friendly packaging options such as carbon-neutral materials and sugarcane-based bio-plastics.
