Additionally, government policies promoting local production and exports have underscored the need for efficient and economic packaging solutions. As various enterprises strive to achieve global manufacturing and packaging standards, paper packaging, which is considered as a versatile and eco-friendly material. has gained prominence.

Environmental Awareness and Sustainability Trends

Increased consciousness of environmental conservation and a changing world trend towards sustainable packaging materials serve as some of the main pillars that have continued to push the paper packaging market in Egypt. In Egypt, SIG is launching ‘Recycle for Good’, an innovative recycling initiative that facilitates the collection of used aseptic carton packs directly from households and the food service industry through tech-based solutions. This collaborative effort between SIG and Tagaddod is the first such initiative in Egypt. Through a mobile app, consumers can schedule pickups of their used cartons and receive rewards in return. The project aims to incentivise recycling of used beverage cartons, ensuring high-value resources remain in circulation while benefitting local communities. Currently, both consumers and businesses are adopting environmentally sustainable packaging practices to reduce their ecological impact. Paper-based packaging materials, known for their biodegradability and recyclability, are instrumental in achieving these sustainability goals. In Egypt, government-enforced restrictions on plastic use to encourage the adoption of eco-friendly materials have accelerated the shift towards paper-based packaging. Consequently, the use of paper as a packaging material is gradually increasing in sectors such as food and beverages, cosmetics, and electronics, among others. Rising environmental concerns within these industries are driving innovation and investment in the paper packaging market, thereby promoting its growth.
