Requirements for material safety in the food packaging industry continue to rise. Food-contact materials must not only meet performance standards regarding protection and processability but also comply with food safety regulations and controls on the migration of hazardous substances. As flexible PVC packaging materials remain in demand for certain applications, there is a growing need for safer plasticizers. Future trends in food packaging materials include the increased use of eco-friendly materials, the adoption of low-migration plasticizer systems, and the development of sustainable packaging technologies. Eco-friendly plasticizers enable PVC materials to meet stricter safety standards, attracting significant attention across the packaging supply chain.
