The flexible packaging type, wherein the plastic material is highly used, has been playing the major role in the feed packaging market. Further, advancements in the packaging industry-for instance, the usage of decomposable and biodegradable plastic materials and the adoption of recyclable and reusable packaging-are driving the growth of this market. Moreover, compared to other materials, plastic is more durable, tensile, and can take any shape or size. These factors have boosted the growth of the feed packaging market.
