Tocco Report: UNPACK PACKAGING 2025 EDITION

A Future Wrapped in Change

Packaging is integral to nearly every product we use, yet its widespread convenience comes with profound environmental consequences. From food to fashion, packaging not only facilitates modern commerce but also generates a significant waste burden, with plastic packaging contributing disproportionately to global pollution. As demand for sustainable solutions intensifies, the packaging industry finds itself at a pivotal moment. Emerging innovations and shifting regulatory landscapes offer a unique opportunity to rethink packaging and its role in both the economy and the environment.

This report by Tocco team explores the current state of packaging, the innovations transforming the industry, and the urgent need for redesign before the environmental costs become irreversible.
