Trends in foodservice packaging supply chain

12 January 2016

The Foodservice Packaging Institute's (FPI) 2015 Trends Report has been published. The data show that environmentally friendly or sustainable packaging remains a long-term overall trend.
The desire for highly automated machines that run faster, more efficiently and at lower costs continues. Consolidation remains a major trend in foodservice distribution. In a continued effort to stand out, foodservice operators are increasingly choosing customized food and beverage items, as well as their associated packaging. Other major trends include increased breakfast business, ‘grab and go’ items and smaller portion sizes that reflect the consumer snacking trend (Press Release FPI, 19 November 2015).
