Invest Nova Scotia’s Trade Market Intelligence (TMI) service helps Nova Scotia companies uncover growth opportunities and access the insights they need to succeed.

Sustainable packaging involves creating packaging solutions that minimize environmental impact throughout their life cycle, from sourcing to disposal, while maintaining protection, functionality, and branding. Growing consumer demand for eco-friendly products, cost-effectiveness, and stricter government regulations are driving its adoption across industries. 

Sustainable packaging relies on recyclable, biodegradable, compostable, or reusable materials and aims to reduce pollution and hazardous chemical use.

For businesses across sectors, sustainable packaging is no longer a niche consideration—it’s rapidly becoming a core expectation from consumers, regulators, and supply chain partners. 

As environmental responsibility shifts from a value-add to a business imperative, Nova Scotian companies face both challenges and significant opportunities in adopting more sustainable packaging practices.
