ster sustainable label sales. Similarly, rising demand for packaged perishable products such as meat, poultry, and seafood is an- ticipated to increase the sales of sustainable labels during the forecast period. Key takeaways from the sustainable labels market: • Based on material type, the paper segment is estimated to account for market value of $9.2 bil- lion in 2022. • Based on end use, the food & beverage segment is projected to expand 1.6 times during the forecast period. • With rapid growth of the food service industry, demand for sustainable packaging across South Asia is projected to grow at a healthy pace through 2032. • North America is likely to hold a substantial share of the global sustainable labels market by the end of the forecast period. • The sustainable labels market in India is poised to grow at a steady pace over the next ten years. Recyclability Tool Launches For Fibre-Based Packaging Papercycle, a recyclability assessment and certifica- tion service for fibre-based packaging products and materials for the UK and beyond, has been launched. Developed by the Confederation of Paper Indus- tries (CPI) and supported by the UK’s paper-based industries, Papercycle’s automated online tool re- portedly provides a comprehensive system to as- sess the recyclability of fibre-based products and materials in a consistent and credible way. It also identifies whether fibre-based packaging materials can be recycled in the UK and which type of recycling mills can reprocess them. Recyclability can be tested at any stage, be it finished or semi-fin- ished products. Papercycle provides an instant diagnosis on re- cyclability following the online assessment, but for more complex products or materials, Papercycle can conduct laboratory testing under the Cepi recy- clability test method. Following a laboratory test, Papercycle can provide a technical review service on how a product behaves under lab conditions to give an insight into how the various components interact with each other, diag- nose the most critical parts and signpost potential solutions for material modification. Papercycle can help prepare fibre-based packaging for certification and expansion in the UK and other markets, subject to local variations and requirements.
