The rise of e-commerce sector in Saudi Arabia is a significant contributor to the expansion of the corrugated box market. As more people are turning to online shopping, the need for packaging solutions that guarantee product safety and prompt delivery is growing. Corrugated boxes, recognized for their strength, affordability, and capacity to safeguard items during shipping, are essential to the e-commerce logistics network.

As attention intensifies on reducing carbon footprints and minimizing waste, both industries and individuals are increasingly adopting sustainable alternatives. Corrugated boxes, crafted from eco-friendly and compostable materials, are becoming a popular option for companies looking to meet sustainability objectives and minimize their ecological footprint. The initiatives by the governing body to encourage green practices and environmental stewardship further support this trend, prompting companies to focus on sustainable packaging.

The seven-year project, in partnership with the Saudi Ministry of Industry, was set to produce recyclable and biodegradable packaging, contributing to reducing packaging waste.
