Next Generation Packaging Product Development

NIRI translates innovative packaging ideas into market-ready products by leveraging its core services in product development, market and application development, and supply chain and manufacturing support.

Our expertise spans critical packaging applications such as protective, food, industrial, and disposable packaging.

This growth is driven by several key factors, including the e-commerce boom, increasing consumer convenience, and rising demand for sustainable and eco-friendly packaging.

Regulations Driving Packaging Industry Innovation

As global legislation evolves, the nonwoven packaging industry faces new challenges and opportunities:

Europe

The Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) and European Green Deal push for sustainable packaging and higher recycling targets. Extended Producer Responsibility schemes are expanding, increasing producer accountability.

North America & Canada

Canada’s Zero Plastic Waste Initiative bans harmful single-use plastics, while various US states enforce strict recycling requirements. Federal legislation may soon set national standards.

Asia

China’s nationwide plastic ban by 2025 and India’s Plastic Waste Management Rules promote recyclable and biodegradable materials.

Global Initiatives

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the forthcoming Global Plastics Treaty will set international standards for sustainable packaging.

At NIRI, we help nonwoven packaging brands navigate these regulatory landscapes by developing innovative, compliant, and sustainable packaging products.
