However, the journey to adopting biodegradable packaging comes with its challenges. While the benefits are undeniable, there are concerns about the cost and scalability of producing biodegradable materials. Many businesses, notably smaller FMCG players, need help to justify the higher cost of these materials. Furthermore, biodegradation requires specific conditions, such as industrial composting facilities, which are only widely available in some regions. Without proper disposal systems, biodegradable packaging might not break down as efficiently as intended, underlining the importance of resilient waste management infrastructure.
