Furthermore, shifting to sustainable materials and processes may necessitate substantial investments in research, development and infrastructure. Health and hygiene packaging must comply with stringent requirements and standards to ensure product safety and consumer protection. Navigating the complicated regulatory landscape across numerous areas and markets is frequently time-consuming and costly for manufacturers, specially small businesses with limited resources.
