Thailand’s F&B industry pushes for sustainable packaging

90% of consumers prioritise sustainability when making purchasing decision.

Thailand’s food and beverage (F&B) industry is rapidly moving towards sustainable packaging, driven by tighter regulations and rising consumer demand for eco-friendly solutions, GlobalData reported.

A survey by GlobalData showed that 90% of consumers prioritise sustainability when making purchasing decisions, prompting companies to adapt.

In response, the Thai government has introduced stronger regulations, including the Second National Action Plan on Plastic Waste (2022-2027) and the Sustainable Packaging Act. These laws push F&B manufacturers to adopt Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) frameworks, ensuring packaging waste is managed from production to disposal.

“F&B manufacturers are increasingly turning to renewable and recyclable materials as they seek to meet both regulatory requirements and consumer expectations,” said Kakarlapudi Karthik Varma, consumer analyst at GlobalData.

Tetra Pak Thailand has been a pioneer in circular packaging innovations, offering solutions that meet sustainability demands. Other companies in the sector are also making strides. For example, Kao Industrial Thailand has partnered with SCG Chemicals Co., Ltd (SCGC) and Dow Thailand Group to develop recyclable, low-carbon packaging.

“The shift towards 100% recyclable and renewable packaging is on the horizon, and stakeholders in the F&B sector must proactively stay ahead of regulatory trends and consumer demands,” said Varma.
