Study reveals critical foodservice packaging trends in 2019
Respondents say that delivery offerings have elevated the importance of single-use foodservice packaging.
The 10th annual Trends Report from the Foodservice Packaging Institute (FPI), Falls Church, Va., identified that the two greatest trends in foodservice packaging are the push-back on single-use products, regardless of material, and that delivery continues to be one of the biggest sales drivers for the foodservice industry.
“The results from this year’s trends report reflect the consumer climate. Leading this is the current drive against single-use products. This, of course, conflicts with the need for foodservice packaging to meet the increasing demand of foodservice establishments offering delivery services to its customers,” says Lynn Dyer, president.
