TOKYO PACK 2026 Highlights Circular Packaging

Under the theme “Innovative Packaging Technology ~ The link between our future planet and generations ~,”TOKYO PACK 2026 places sustainability at the heart of its program.

One of the exhibition’s four key themes is “Eco-packaging shaping the future,” which highlights the circular economy, resource circulation, greenhouse gas reduction, material recycling, and packaging lightweighting and simplification. The organizers also specifically identify paper and biomass-based materials as part of the industry’s efforts to reduce environmental impact.

These priorities reflect the broader evolution of Japan’s packaging industry, where circularity and material efficiency are becoming increasingly important considerations.

Japan’s Growing Market for Paper Packaging

Japan has a substantial market for paper packaging. According to Yano Research Institute, the country’s paper packaging market across six categories was worth approximately ¥1.95 trillion in FY2024 and is projected to reach around ¥2.05 trillion by FY2026. The market includes corrugated boxes, paperboard boxes, paper cups, liquid packaging cartons, paper bags, and molded pulp products.

While Japan’s overall paper and paperboard demand continues to face structural challenges, packaging remains a relatively resilient application. Growing interest in paper-based alternatives and more resource-efficient packaging further supports opportunities for innovation in the sector.
