However, the companies organised in the Industrial Association for Paper and Film Packaging (IPV) are not only experiencing strong demand for fibre-based packaging. Polymer-based monomaterials are also currently in demand.<\/p>\n<p>Appreciation for packaging that protects food and extends shelf life has been on the rise again since the coronavirus pandemic. \u201eThe acceptance and future of flexible packaging is more important than ever. <strong>recyclability and the intelligent and sustainable choice of suitable materials<\/strong> be decisive. With additional scientific studies, the <a href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/tag\/ipv\/\">IPV<\/a> This is where we need to start and work out and substantiate the good arguments in favour of flexible packaging as product protection vis-\u00e0-vis politicians and consumers,\u201c says IPV Chairman of the Board <strong>Klaus Jahn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Focus on recyclability of packaging according to IPV<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A major challenge lies in the <strong>steadily growing number of substitute materials<\/strong> with the associated advantages and disadvantages. The trend towards paper packaging as a replacement for plastic continues and is gaining additional momentum during the coronavirus pandemic. Not only is the development of alternative fibre-based products being driven forward by various players, but research has also made progress in the barrier protection function of paper, among other things. In this year's annual survey, the majority of IPV member companies also stated that <strong>customer demand for fibre-based substitute products has risen sharply or even very sharply<\/strong>.<\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-1647658590\"><div id=\"packa-1636640912\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PJ Self-promotion English 03\"><!--noptimize--><img src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png 840w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-332x83.png 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-664x166.png 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-688x172.png 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" width=\"840\" height=\"210\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><!--\/noptimize--><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<p>In contrast, the use of polymer-based films is also making great strides in development.
