Study: How Millennials impact trends in foodservice packaging industry
Changes in preparation and distribution of meals are driving other trends, such as an increased interest in food safety and tamper-evident packaging.
The Foodservice Packaging Institute (FPI), Falls Church, Va., released its 2016 Trends Report, which reveals key industry shifts driven by the generational influence of Millennials.
“Each year, our trends report searches for common threads found throughout the entire foodservice packaging value chain. This year more than ever, it’s hard to deny the influence of the Millennial generation on the foodservice packaging industry,” says Lynn Dyer, president. “As such a large, influential piece of the population, the opinions and ideals of Millennials are a defining factor, leaving an impression on the industry.”
