Emerging Applications of Recycled Ocean Plastics in Food Packaging is Fueling the MEA Recycled Ocean Plastics Market
Packaging plays a critical role in ensuring food safety. Food packaging material acts as a barrier against oxygen, moisture, bacteria, and pathogens, protecting the contamination of food. The food packaging industry presents lucrative opportunities for recycled ocean plastic companies owing to increasing concerns related to environmental sustainability and plastic waste. Earlier, there were quality and safety concerns related to the use of recycled ocean plastics in food packaging as these materials contain toxic chemicals that can deteriorate food quality after coming in direct contact. However, harnessing technological advancements, manufacturers of recycled ocean plastics have begun offering food-grade ocean plastic materials in recent years. Oceanworks, one of the prominent manufacturers of recycled ocean plastics, offers food-grade recycled ocean plastic resins such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and polypropylene (PP). Thus, recycled ocean plastics are witnessing strong demand from the food packaging industry, which offers lucrative opportunities to the manufacturers of recycled ocean plastics across the region, thereby driving the MEA recycled ocean plastics market .
