High initial investment costs associated with the production and implementation of eco-friendly food packaging solutions is a major restraint for the market. While eco-friendly packaging options can offer long-term cost savings and environmental benefits, the upfront costs of transitioning to sustainable packaging can be prohibitive for some companies, especially small and medium-sized businesses.

Limited availability of eco-friendly packaging materials and technologies is another major restraint for the market. Despite increasing demand for sustainable packaging solutions, the availability of biodegradable and compostable packaging materials remains limited, making it difficult for companies to source eco-friendly alternatives for their packaging needs.
