2024 年日本绿色包装市场规模价值 149 亿美元。展望未来, IMARC Group估计到 2033 年市场规模将达到 241 亿美元,2025 年至 2033 年的复合年增长率为 5.5%。在严格的环境法规和消费者对永续解决方案日益增长的需求的推动下,市场正在稳步增长。食品饮料、医疗保健和化妆品等关键产业正在采用环保材料来减少浪费。可生物降解和可回收包装的创新进一步支持了市场扩张。

受消费者对永续解决方案需求的不断增长以及严格的环境法规的推动,日本绿色包装市场正在快速发展。人们越来越意识到一次性塑胶对环境的影响,促使企业采用可生物降解、可回收和可重复使用的包装替代品。特别是,食品和饮料行业对纸基和植物衍生材料的使用正在激增,这与消费者对环保产品的偏好相一致。政府措施透过鼓励企业减少塑胶垃圾和采用循环经济原则强化了这种转变。此监管框架激励了材料开发的创新,促进了在保持功能性的同时优先考虑永续性的绿色包装解决方案的发展。例如,2024年3月,花王株式会社及花王运输物流株式会社获得日本经济产业省和环境省的批准,向公众收集塑胶包装。这是製造商或零售商首次获得此类批准。根据《塑胶资源循环法》,花王现在可以在鎌仓市收集用过的补充包,而无需获得废弃物管理服务许可。

技术进步和研究投资正在进一步推动市场的发展。日本公司正在利用尖端材料科学开发轻盈、耐用且经济高效的包装选择。将再生资源和再生材料融入包装设计正在成为一种标准做法,尤其是在寻求实现永续发展目标同时保持竞争性市场地位的行业。此外,零售商和品牌正在利用环保意识趋势,采用绿色包装来提升其品牌价值并吸引具有环保意识的消费者。例如,2024年1月,日本体育器材製造公司Yonex采用三井化学朝日生命材料株式会社开发的ECORISE PLA纺粘不织布作为其网球拍的包装。这种转变取代了传统的尼龙外壳,大大减少了石油基塑胶的使用。尤尼克斯的倡议与其永续发展目标一致,即最大限度地减少包装,并提倡对环境负责的做法,同时保持生产和运输的品质和效率。

日本绿色包装市场趋势:

可生物降解包装材料的采用率不断上升

随着企业和消费者优先考虑环境永续性,日本对可生物降解包装材料的需求正在增加。各行各业正在整合可堆肥和植物性包装,以满足消费者的期望并遵守严格的规定。例如,2024 年 5 月,大日本印刷公司 (DNP) 宣布将照片介质包装从塑胶换成基于生物质植物的可再生资源纸。预计这项变更将减少69%的二氧化碳排放量,即每年约45吨,同时促进生产过程的可持续性。此外,政府积极推广可生物降解替代品,进一步推动其采用,促进市场成长

可回收包装解决方案的成长

随着各行业寻求在循环经济框架内可有效重复使用的材料,日本的可回收包装领域正在扩大。纸、玻璃和铝包装由于对环境的影响较小且回收基础设施完善而越来越受到重视。公司正在投资闭环流程以确保材料回收和再利用,进一步支持市场成长。消费者偏好的提升是品牌使用可回收包装的另一个重要因素,凸显了企业策略与永续发展目标的日益一致,推动了该领域的创新。例如,2024 年 11 月,Indorama Ventures、三得利、雀巢、ENEOS、三菱商事和岩谷工业在日本市场大规模推出了世界上第一个由废弃食用油製成的生物 PET 瓶,用于特定饮料。该工艺采用 ISCC+ 认证的材料,显着减少了二氧化碳排放,并强调了合作在推广永续包装解决方案方面的重要性。

永续包装技术的进步

创新是日本绿色包装市场的一个主要趋势,永续包装技术的进步势头强劲。透过先进的製造流程开发的强度更高的轻质材料正在减少资源消耗。智慧包装解决方案也正在推出,重点是环保设计,使企业能够在保持产品完整性和消费者便利性的同时实现环境目标。例如,2024 年 9 月,JEPLAN 集团旗下的 PET REFINE TECHNOLOGY 推出了「HELIX」品牌,用于其采用专有化学回收技术生产的再生 PET 树脂。 HELIX 用于 PET 瓶和化妆品包装,其品质可与石油基 PET 相媲美。透过这项倡议,该公司旨在推广永续材料,减少二氧化碳排放,并透过鼓励更广泛地采用再生材料来支持向循环经济的转型。

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.
