The 2028 Packaging Roadmap
Setting the Pace for Global FMCG
Zoiko Foods will achieve 100% recyclable and compostable packaging two years
ahead of Unilever and Nestlé — making us the first major global food player to deliver on this promise.
Why Packaging Matters
Consumers
- 70% prefer sustainable packaging
- 5-10% premium pricing elasticity
- 30% lower churn among eco- conscious buyers
Financial ROI
- $0.02/unit cost savings by 2028
- $25M+ annual savings, +2-3% EBITDA margin expansion
- Landfill tax avoidance → $5M/year (EU + US)
Regulatory Edge
- EU single-use plastic bans (2025- 2030)
- US state-level plastic taxes (California, NY)
- APAC import/export compliance requirements
Zoiko ready by 2028 → competitors face 1–2 years of restricted access
