Global Aseptic Packaging Market 2014-2018 with Elopak, SIG Combibloc Group and Tetra Pak Dominating
M2 - Tue Mar 25, 11:34AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4lx9qk/global_aseptic) has announced the addition of the "Global Aseptic Packaging Market 2014-2018 with Elopak, SIG Combibloc Group and Tetra Pak Dominating" report to their offering. One of the main drivers in the global aseptic packaging industry is the increasing demand for aseptic packaging in the F&B industry. Aseptically-packaged food items remain fresh for more than six months without the addition of any kind of additives. In addition, aseptic packaging reduces the need for a cold chain, which is a much more expensive option due to its high storage and distribution cost.A major concern challenging the growth of the Global Aseptic Packaging market has been the safe disposal of packaged products such as cartons, cans, and pet bottles. Governments and national communities have been raising concerns about the safety of the environment over the last few years and about the disposal of packaged products. In addition, regulations have been introduced that have made it obligatory for vendors to manufacture eco-friendly products that are less hazardous to the environment and products that cause minimal/negligible contamination to the environment. Furthermore, special recycling systems have been designed and introduced for the recycling of poly-coated paperboard products and drink boxes. For instance, the Chinese government has established local collection centers to collect drink boxes and bags. In addition, solid waste handlers and local officials have established pilot collection programs in areas such as schools, local parks, and college cafeterias in China. Hence, the launch of eco-friendly products is one of the key trends that is expected to lead to the growth of the Global Aseptic Packaging market during the forecast period. Further, the report states that one such challenge hindering the growth of the market is the long installation time of the packaging equipment. The initial setting up of the equipment and its implementation takes at least two months to complete, thus, operations on the equipment can only begin after two months. The key vendors dominating this market space are: - Elopak AS - SIG Combibloc Group AG - Tetra Pak International SA. Key Topics Covered: 01. Executive Summary 02. List of Abbreviations 03.

Global Aseptic Packaging Market 2014-2018 with Elopak, SIG Combibloc Group and Tetra Pak Dominating
M2 - Tue Mar 25, 11:34AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4lx9qk/global_aseptic) has announced the addition of the "Global Aseptic Packaging Market 2014-2018 with Elopak, SIG Combibloc Group and Tetra Pak Dominating" report to their offering. One of the main drivers in the global aseptic packaging industry is the increasing demand for aseptic packaging in the F&B industry. Aseptically-packaged food items remain fresh for more than six months without the addition of any kind of additives. In addition, aseptic packaging reduces the need for a cold chain, which is a much more expensive option due to its high storage and distribution cost.A major concern challenging the growth of the Global Aseptic Packaging market has been the safe disposal of packaged products such as cartons, cans, and pet bottles. Governments and national communities have been raising concerns about the safety of the environment over the last few years and about the disposal of packaged products. In addition, regulations have been introduced that have made it obligatory for vendors to manufacture eco-friendly products that are less hazardous to the environment and products that cause minimal/negligible contamination to the environment. Furthermore, special recycling systems have been designed and introduced for the recycling of poly-coated paperboard products and drink boxes. For instance, the Chinese government has established local collection centers to collect drink boxes and bags. In addition, solid waste handlers and local officials have established pilot collection programs in areas such as schools, local parks, and college cafeterias in China. Hence, the launch of eco-friendly products is one of the key trends that is expected to lead to the growth of the Global Aseptic Packaging market during the forecast period. Further, the report states that one such challenge hindering the growth of the market is the long installation time of the packaging equipment. The initial setting up of the equipment and its implementation takes at least two months to complete, thus, operations on the equipment can only begin after two months. The key vendors dominating this market space are: - Elopak AS - SIG Combibloc Group AG - Tetra Pak International SA. Key Topics Covered: 01. Executive Summary 02. List of Abbreviations 03.
