Greece is currently witnessing a massive transition in the "Other Paper Products" manufacturing sector, driven largely by the EU's Single-Use Plastics Directive. In tourist hubs like Athens and Santorini, there is an urgent demand for biodegradable food containers to replace plastic alternatives in the bustling street food and takeaway markets.
The Mediterranean climate, characterized by high humidity and heat, requires specialized paper coatings. Local businesses are increasingly seeking greaseproof bags that can withstand the oil-rich nature of traditional Greek cuisine without compromising structural integrity or leaking during transport.
Furthermore, the growth of e-commerce within Greece has placed a spotlight on the logistics chain. The demand for high-tack box packaging tape has surged as local producers export olive oil and wine globally, necessitating packaging that survives long-haul maritime and road transit.
