According to a new study from The Freedonia Group, the World demand for food containers is forecast to increase 3.8 percent per year to $115 billion in 2013. Factors contributing to rising demand will include growth in global food output and trends toward convenience-oriented food options as a result of fast-paced lifestyles. In addition, demographic trends will continue to have significant influence on food container demand. For instance, the rising percentage of urban population and women in the workforce, coupled with increases in the number of single-person households, will fuel packaged and processed food spending, due to more limited time for meal preparation and convenience benefits. Products made from biodegradable materials will post robust advances, albeit from a low base, the result of greater pressure on packaging producers to reduce their environmental footprint.

Overall, bags and pouches will remain the largest product type by a wide margin, supported by ongoing developments in high-barrier resins and value added features such as microwaveable bags and resealable stand-up pouches. Demand for bags and pouches will benefit from the products’ environmentally friendly image, as they are often associated with reduced packaging efforts. In addition, cost advantages of bags and pouches compared to rigid containers -- especially considering their lighter weight (which imparts transportation cost savings), their smaller size (which imparts storage space savings) and their lower energy requirements during production will aid gains.

Multilayer barrier pouches are entering food and beverage markets that were never before penetrated. Spirits are the latest application, specifically ShotPak, a 50 ml flask-shaped pouch filled with ready-to-drink cocktails that can go where glass containers can't.

The easy-tear pouch is a patented laminated structure containing LLDPE, nylon, foil and a proprietary layer. Shelf-stable for a full 18 months, the structure guards against leaching of the alcohol in the mixed cocktail and after extensive organoleptic testing by BPG, no flavor changes were noted.

There's a source-reduction story to tell, as the pouch takes up far less space than a bottle, weighs 20 times less than a bottle with comparable volume, uses far less energy to make, and has a lower CO2 footprint than a bottle. In states that have garbage incineration in place, such as BPG's home state of Florida, plasma arcing can vaporize the plastic components of the pouch, generating electricity, while collecting the metal left behind. This slag can be used for road construction projects.

Plum Organics baby food has come out with a product that will help many parents on the go. This product is their new “portable pouches” and it allows the parent to take baby food instead of bringing it in the breakable glass jars they are normally in, or the tiny pouches with the pop off lid.

The organic fruits and vegetables are gently cooked and pureed until smooth, then packaged in a BPA-free pouch that pours easily onto a spoon for a mess-free eating experience – a method that eliminates the need for double dipping and concerns of cross contamination.
