2024 年日本綠色包裝市場規模價值 149 億美元。展望未來, IMARC Group估計到 2033 年市場規模將達到 241 億美元,2025 年至 2033 年的複合年成長率為 5.5%。在嚴格的環境法規和消費者對永續解決方案日益成長的需求的推動下,市場正在穩步成長。食品飲料、醫療保健和化妝品等關鍵產業正在採用環保材料來減少浪費。可生物分解和可回收包裝的創新進一步支持了市場擴張。

受消費者對永續解決方案需求的不斷成長以及嚴格的環境法規的推動,日本綠色包裝市場正在快速發展。人們越來越意識到一次性塑膠對環境的影響,促使企業採用可生物分解、可回收和可重複使用的包裝替代品。特別是,食品和飲料行業對紙基和植物衍生材料的使用正在激增,這與消費者對環保產品的偏好相一致。政府措施透過鼓勵企業減少塑膠垃圾和採用循環經濟原則強化了這種轉變。此監管框架激勵了材料開發的創新,促進了在保持功能性的同時優先考慮永續性的綠色包裝解決方案的發展。例如,2024年3月,花王株式會社及花王運輸物流株式會社獲得日本經濟產業省和環境省的批准,向公眾收集塑膠包裝。這是製造商或零售商首次獲得此類批准。根據《塑膠資源循環法》,花王現在可以在鎌倉市收集用過的補充包,而無需獲得廢棄物管理服務許可。

技術進步和研究投資正在進一步推動市場的發展。日本公司正在利用尖端材料科學開發輕盈、耐用且經濟高效的包裝選擇。將再生資源和再生材料融入包裝設計正在成為一種標準做法,尤其是在尋求實現永續發展目標同時保持競爭性市場地位的行業。此外,零售商和品牌正在利用環保意識趨勢,採用綠色包裝來提升其品牌價值並吸引具有環保意識的消費者。例如,2024年1月,日本體育器材製造公司Yonex採用三井化學朝日生命材料株式會社開發的ECORISE PLA紡粘不織布作為其網球拍的包裝。這種轉變取代了傳統的尼龍外殼,大大減少了石油基塑膠的使用。尤尼克斯的舉措與其永續發展目標一致,即最大限度地減少包裝,並提倡對環境負責的做法,同時保持生產和運輸的品質和效率。

日本綠色包裝市場趨勢:

可生物分解包裝材料的採用率不斷上升

隨著企業和消費者優先考慮環境永續性,日本對可生物分解包裝材料的需求正在增加。各行各業正在整合可堆肥和植物性包裝,以滿足消費者的期望並遵守嚴格的規定。例如,2024 年 5 月,大日本印刷公司 (DNP) 宣布將照片介質包裝從塑膠換成基於生質能植物的可再生資源紙。預計這項變更將減少69%的二氧化碳排放量,即每年約45噸,同時促進生產過程的永續性。此外,政府積極推廣可生物分解替代品,進一步推動其採用,促進市場成長

可回收包裝解決方案的成長

隨著各行業尋求在循環經濟框架內可有效重複使用的材料,日本的可回收包裝領域正在擴大。紙、玻璃和鋁包裝由於對環境的影響較小且回收基礎設施完善而越來越受到重視。公司正在投資閉迴路流程以確保材料回收和再利用,進一步支持市場成長。消費者偏好的提升是品牌使用可回收包裝的另一個重要因素,凸顯了企業策略與永續發展目標的日益一致,推動了該領域的創新。例如,2024 年 11 月,Indorama Ventures、三得利、雀巢、ENEOS、三菱商事和巖谷工業在日本市場大規模推出了世界上第一個由廢棄食用油製成的生物 PET 瓶,用於特定飲料。該工藝採用 ISCC+ 認證的材料,顯著減少了二氧化碳排放,並強調了合作在推廣永續包裝解決方案方面的重要性。

永續包裝技術的進步

創新是日本綠色包裝市場的一個主要趨勢,永續包裝技術的進步勢頭強勁。透過先進的製造流程開發的強度更高的輕質材料正在減少資源消耗。智慧包裝解決方案也正在推出,重點是環保設計,使企業能夠在保持產品完整性和消費者便利性的同時實現環境目標。例如,2024 年 9 月,JEPLAN 集團旗下的 PET REFINE TECHNOLOGY 推出了「HELIX」品牌,用於其採用專有化學回收技術生產的再生 PET 樹脂。 HELIX 用於 PET 瓶和化妝品包裝,其品質可與石油基 PET 相媲美。透過這項舉措,該公司旨在推廣永續材料,減少二氧化碳排放,並透過鼓勵更廣泛地採用再生材料來支持向循環經濟的轉型。

The Japan green packaging market size was valued at USD 14.9 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 24.1 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025-2033. The market is experiencing steady growth, driven by stringent environmental regulations, and increasing consumer demand for sustainable solutions. Key industries, including food and beverages, healthcare, and cosmetics, are adopting eco-friendly materials to reduce waste. Innovations in biodegradable and recyclable packaging are further supporting market expansion.

The Japan green packaging market is advancing rapidly, driven by increasing consumer demand for sustainable solutions and stringent environmental regulations. Growing awareness of the environmental impact of single-use plastics has prompted businesses to adopt biodegradable, recyclable, and reusable packaging alternatives. In particular, the food and beverage sector are witnessing a surge in the use of paper-based and plant-derived materials, aligning with consumer preferences for eco-friendly products. Government initiatives have reinforced this shift by encouraging companies to reduce plastic waste and adopt circular economy principles. This regulatory framework incentivizes innovation in material development, fostering the growth of green packaging solutions that prioritize sustainability while maintaining functionality. For instance, in March 2024, Kao Corporation and Kao Transport and Logistics Company Limited received approval from Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and Ministry of the Environment to collect plastic packaging from the public. This marks the first approval of its kind for a manufacturer or retailer. Under the Plastic Resource Circulation Act, Kao can now collect used refill packs in Kamakura City without requiring waste management service permissions.

Technological advancements and investment in research are propelling the market further. Japanese companies are leveraging cutting-edge material science to develop lightweight, durable, and cost-effective packaging options. The integration of renewable resources and recycled materials into packaging designs is becoming a standard practice, particularly among industries looking to meet sustainability goals while maintaining competitive market positions. Moreover, retailers and brands are capitalizing on the eco-conscious trend by adopting green packaging to enhance their brand value and appeal to environmentally aware consumers. For instance, in January 2024, Yonex, a Japanese sports equipment manufacturing company, adopted ECORISE PLA spunbond nonwoven, developed by Mitsui Chemicals Asahi Life Materials Co, as packaging for its tennis racquets. This shift replaces traditional nylon cases, significantly reducing the use of petroleum-based plastics. Yonex's initiative aligns with its sustainability goals to minimize packaging and promote environmentally responsible practices while maintaining quality and efficiency in production and transportation.

Japan Green Packaging Market Trends:

Rising Adoption of Biodegradable Packaging Materials

Japan is witnessing increased demand for biodegradable packaging materials as businesses and consumers prioritize environmental sustainability. Industries are integrating compostable and plant-based packaging to meet consumer expectations and comply with strict regulations. For instance, in May 2024, Dai Nippon Printing (DNP) announced switching photo-media packaging from plastic to biomass plant-based renewable resource paper. This change is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 69%, or approximately 45 tons annually, while promoting sustainability in production processes. Besides this, the government's active promotion of biodegradable alternatives further propels their adoption and boosts market growth

Growth in Recyclable Packaging Solutions

The recyclable packaging segment in Japan is expanding as industries seek materials that can be efficiently reused within the circular economy framework. Paper, glass, and aluminum packaging are gaining prominence due to their lower environmental impact and well-established recycling infrastructure. Companies are investing in closed-loop processes to ensure material recovery and reuse, further supporting the market growth. Rising consumer preference act as another significant factor for brands using recyclable packaging highlights the growing alignment of corporate strategies with sustainability goals, driving innovation in this sector. For instance, in November 2024, Indorama Ventures, Suntory, Neste, ENEOS, Mitsubishi Corporation, and Iwatani launched the world's first bio-PET bottle, made from used cooking oil, at a commercial scale for specific beverages in Japan market. The process, utilizing ISCC+-certified materials, significantly reduces CO2 emissions and highlights the importance of collaboration in promoting sustainable packaging solutions.

Advancements in Sustainable Packaging Technologies

Innovation is a key trend in Japan's green packaging market, with advancements in sustainable packaging technologies gaining momentum. Lightweight materials with enhanced strength, developed through advanced manufacturing processes, are reducing resource consumption. Smart packaging solutions are also being introduced with a focus on eco-friendly designs, enabling businesses to meet environmental goals while maintaining product integrity and consumer convenience. For instance, in September 2024, PET REFINE TECHNOLOGY, a JEPLAN Group company, launched the brand "HELIX" for its recycled PET resin, produced using proprietary chemical recycling technology. HELIX is used in PET bottles and cosmetic packaging, offering quality comparable to petroleum-based PET. With this initiative, the company aims to promote sustainable materials, reduce CO2 emissions, and support the transition to a circular economy by encouraging broader adoption of recycled materials.
