3 Packaging Trends in 2025, you need to know

Packaging of the Future: Trends and Innovations

Packaging is no longer just a practical necessity – it has become a strategic competitive factor. In 2025, customers, authorities, and environmental standards will demand even higher requirements for how goods are packed, transported, and reused/recycled.
At FARUSA, we closely follow these developments – and actively participate in shaping the solutions of the future.

You Need to Know in 2025

Here are 3 trends you as an export company should know to stay ahead.

 

♻️ From single-use plastic to bio-based and

recyclable materials

What’s happening?
Plastic is under increasing pressure—both politically and in the market. More countries are taxing or banning single-use plastics, and large corporations demand fossil-free or recyclable materials from their suppliers.

What does this mean for you?
Customers are asking for documentation on sustainability and the circular economy. This creates demands both on the choice of materials and the design of packaging solutions.

 

FARUSA:

We develop solutions in Heavy Duty corrugated board, which is 100% recyclable and made from sustainable materials. Our HD corrugated board is a sustainable alternative to both plastic and wood.

 

📦 Tailored and optimized –

with digital design and data

What’s happening?
Standard boxes are a thing of the past. The future of packaging is customized for both the product and the supply chain. At the same time, new digital tools enable faster and more precise design processes.

What does this mean for you?
You save on freight costs, minimize damages, and improve your supply chain – all supported by data that documents the impact.

 

FARUSA:

We design packaging based on product data, shipping conditions, and logistics flow – and calculate load and protection before the prototype is produced.

 

📊 ESG and documentation –

packaging as a reporting tool

What’s happening?
Companies subject to CSRD and the EU taxonomy must document their climate footprint – including the packaging’s CO₂ impact, resource consumption, and recyclability.

What does this mean for you?
Packaging choices must not only be practical – they must also be documented in ESG reporting and meet customer sustainability demands.

 

FARUSA:

In our sustainability report, available at farusa.dk, you can find our HotSpot analysis, which shows our lifecycle compared to others.

 

🔭 Ready to think ahead?

The packaging of the future is lighter, greener, smarter — and more integrated into your business than ever before.

Why cheap packaging, often ends up being the most expensive solution
