With increasing awareness of climate change, UK consumers are shifting towards more sustainable purchasing habits. According to Statista, by 2022, approximately 20% of surveyed consumers in the United Kingdom reported adopting significantly more sustainable behaviors over the past five years. Notably, none of the respondents claimed a decline in sustainable purchases during this period.
This trend continued in 2024, as a survey by PA Consulting revealed that 80% of UK consumers agreed on the importance of reducing plastic use, with 60% considering reusable packaging the future of shopping.
Recognizing this shift, APP Group, a pioneer in sustainable packaging, offers innovative solutions to meet the growing demand. One standout product, Foopak Bio Natura, represents their commitment to eco-friendly advancements. This product is PFAS-free, and recyclable through standard curbside processes. It adheres to stringent FDA standards for direct food contact and holds REACH and BfR certifications, ensuring safety and adaptability for various uses.
Kin Keung Christopher Wong, Senior Vice President & Global BU Head Industrial White at APP Group, highlighted the importance of meeting consumer expectations, “As UK shoppers increasingly prioritize sustainability, businesses must offer eco-conscious alternatives. At APP Group, we proudly support FMCG companies with innovative paper-based packaging like Foopak, ensuring they meet sustainability goals while maintaining quality and performance.”
