Booming E‑commerce & Retail Packaging Demand

As more businesses shift to online platforms, the demand for corrugated boxes, paper bags, and branded cartons has increased substantially. Paper packaging is favored because it protects products during shipping while allowing for effective brand presentation, helping businesses stand out in a competitive marketplace. Additionally, retail outlets increasingly prefer paper-based solutions for their sustainable appeal and versatility across food, apparel, and consumer goods. This surge in e‑commerce has also led to heightened emphasis on packaging that balances protection with presentation, influencing suppliers to innovate and deliver cost‑effective, adaptable solutions.

Sustainability Trends & Regulatory Pressure

Environmental awareness among Turkish consumers has greatly intensified the demand for eco‑friendly packaging, making paper-based solutions increasingly attractive to businesses and end users. According to Turkey’s Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, the 2019 ban on free plastic bags reduced their usage by over 77%, saving 150,000 tons of plastic and preventing 6,000 tons of CO₂ emissions within the first 11 months. This landmark success reflects a broader shift toward sustainability and reinforces regulatory momentum for replacing single‑use plastics with recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable alternatives. Such measures are prompting manufacturers to innovate with recycled fibers, non‑wood pulp, and other eco‑conscious materials. For companies, sustainable packaging has evolved beyond mere compliance to a strategic move for strengthening brand reputation and appealing to eco‑conscious consumers.
