The various industries have shifted to use the reusable packaging material to save their transportation cost and reduce the replacement cost. The increase in the awareness of environment safety, decrease in use of plastic, innovation in the chemical and physical properties of packaging material, government initiatives, saving the transportation and replacement cost, improvement in supply chain, affordability of the product, upcoming reuse models, returnable packaging from residential use, reduction of waste, and environmental impact are the major factors that drive the growth of the global reusable shipping boxes market. However, the cost of processing and manufacturing the reusable boxes, limited raw material options, wear and tear of the boxes, contamination chance of the packaging material, and availability of substitute products hinder the market growth. Whereas, investments in smarter packaging solutions, economically viable system, improvement in tensile strength of the reusable boxes, reducing environmental pollution along with the safety of the product, and introduction of reusable schemes both for commercial and residential use present new opportunities for the growth of the reusable shipping boxes market.
The global reusable shipping boxes market trends are as follows:
Reducing harmful impact on environment
The packaging material such as low density polymers and high density polymers usually take 20 to 450 years for decomposing causing ill effect to the environment. Cardboard packaging is made up of wood and several trees have to be cut down for manufacturing the packaging material. Increase in innovation and development in technology lead to many reforms in the packaging industry. The leading industries are inclined toward optimizing the packaging efficiency along with supply chain profitability. The primary, secondary, and tertiary packagings are recreated by the use of technology so that it can maintain the required quality of the product and can be reused again as well.
New trends in the reusable packaging
The reusable packaging was popular for the commercial use but as the customer awareness has increased and the contribution for minimal waste has been in trend the reusable packaging material has also been adopted for the residential use. The key players such as Returnity, LimeLoop, RePack have developed returnable mailers, which include increased durability mailers, water- resistance pouches, envelopes, and soft folding boxes. As the package is delivered to the customer, the main problem comes in disposing the waste; therefore as a solution to this problem a customer can return back the packaging material to the supplier.
