The necessity for environmentally safer and sustainable packaging is a primary reason that is expected to drive growth of the Europe bag in box packaging market during the forecast period.

Standard plastic pouches are often multi-layered to enhance holding capacity, making them sturdier and requiring more plastic than bag-in-box packaging.

Corrugated boxes, which preserve the contents of the bag-in-box, are composed of 100% recyclable corrugated paper board.
