Market Insight: Consumer Awareness Is Rising- Event Related Plastic Waste Is Under Scrutiny

 

The 2026 FIFA World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, is currently underway- and with it comes a renewed commitment to sustainable event management. As major sporting events face growing scrutiny over single‑use plastic waste, the shift toward eco‑friendly alternatives is no longer a niche trend, but a mainstream expectation.

According to new research commissioned by material innovation company Xampla and conducted by Yonder, 74% of UK consumers want plastic-free food packaging at major sporting events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Meanwhile, the tournament is expected to generate an estimated 156 tonnes of single‑use plastic waste- equivalent to the average plastic waste produced by more than 13,000 football matches.

 

Yet packaging challenges remain. Nearly half (49%) of consumers are unaware that much paper‑based takeaway packaging contains a plastic lining, creating significant recycling obstacles. Around 79% of respondents called for clearer labeling on plastic content in product packaging.

The message is clear: consumers are ready for plastic-free alternatives-and the supply chain must catch up.
