Edible packaging finds applications across diverse industries, with the food and beverage sector being the most prominent. In this sector, edible films and coatings are used to wrap fresh produce, snacks, dairy products, and baked goods, enhancing shelf life and reducing the need for synthetic preservatives. For instance, edible coatings made from chitosan or whey protein can be applied to fruits and vegetables to prevent moisture loss and microbial growth, thereby maintaining freshness. Similarly, edible films encase single-serve portions of condiments, spices, or instant beverages, eliminating the need for plastic sachets.

Beyond food, edible packaging is making inroads into the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. Edible capsules and strips, often made from gelatin or starch-based materials, deliver vitamins, supplements, or medications. These packaging solutions are consumable and customizable, allowing for precise dosing and improved patient compliance. In the hospitality industry, edible packaging is being explored for single-use items like straws, cups, and cutlery, offering a sustainable alternative to plastic disposables. For example, edible straws from rice flour or sugar-based materials are gaining popularity in cafes and restaurants.

The market is gaining strong traction globally, particularly in regions grappling with high food and packaging waste levels. In Europe and the UK, heightened awareness around environmental sustainability, food waste reduction, and circular economy initiatives drives a shift from traditional packaging toward innovative, biodegradable, and edible alternatives. As regulatory pressure increases and food-related industries grow in complexity and scale, the demand for sustainable packaging solutions like edible films and coatings is rising sharply. This shift is further amplified by data showing significant regional waste generation and recycling challenges.
