The food service market in Singapore is experiencing significant growth. According to Mordor Intelligence, the market size is expected to reach USD 24.88 billion by 2024 and expand to USD 55.93 billion by 2029, with an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.58% during this period. Within this thriving market, the fast-food segment alone contributes over SGD 1.49 billion annually, establishing itself as a key player in Singapore’s food and beverage industry.
As per data from Statista, Singaporean consumers are increasingly favoring sustainable products and services, encouraging many businesses to adopt environmentally friendly practices. In response, fast-food chains in Singapore have introduced various initiatives to minimize their ecological footprint. These efforts include replacing plastic straws with strawless lids, eliminating single-use sauce packets by using self-service condiment stations, and utilizing recycled paper for napkins, bags, cups, and cartons.
This trend highlights the growing emphasis on sustainability as businesses adapt to the preferences of eco-conscious consumers. Addressing this demand, APP Group has introduced Foopak Bio Natura, a range of biodegradable and compostable packaging solutions, including paper straws and food containers, designed to replace traditional plastic packaging. These innovations empower fast-food establishments to align with global sustainability standards while reinforcing Singapore’s position as a leader in eco-friendly practices.
Kin Keung Christopher Wong, Senior Vice President and Global Business Unit Head Industrial White at APP Group, stated, “With the continued expansion of Singapore’s fast-food industry comes the responsibility to innovate sustainable solutions. Foopak Bio Natura aims to address critical environmental challenges by eliminating harmful materials from the ecosystem.”
Our partnership with the Income Eco Run 2024 on May 26th at Marina Barrage, Singapore, highlights our commitment to sustainability and the Zero Waste cause. As the provider of 53,000 compostable cups for over 5,000 runners, Foopak Bio Natura reinforced eco-conscious practices at this prestigious event.
APP Group is dedicated to driving industry transformation through sustainable innovation. By bringing Foopak Bio Natura to Singapore, the company is supporting businesses in meeting their sustainability goals and strengthening Singapore’s reputation as a global leader in environmentally responsible food service practices.
