The recycled bubble mailers and recycled padded mailers cater to adopting protective packaging in the cosmetics sector. Both offer the cushioning required to protect personal care items in transit and are 100% recyclable.
- The growth of secondary packages due to increased sales of perfumes in the region would aid the plastic packaging market's growth. Switzerland boasts of an ever-growing fragrance industry. This would bring multiple secondary plastic packaging vendors into the market scenario.
