The growing concern over plastic packaging worldwide has contributed to the expansion of the collapsible metal tubes market. Increasing awareness and consumer preference for sustainable alternatives, along with efforts to reduce plastic usage, have fueled the market's growth. For example, in January 2024, the Australia Institute reported that Australians use 3.8 million tonnes of plastic annually, equivalent to the weight of 72 Sydney Harbour Bridges, with this figure projected to rise to 9.7 million tonnes by 2049-50. Consequently, concerns about plastic packaging's environmental impact and the preference for reducing plastic waste have driven the demand for collapsible metal tubes during the historic period.

Major companies in the collapsible metal tube market are increasingly prioritizing the development of recyclable solutions to reduce waste and environmental impact. Recyclable collapsible metal tubes are engineered with single-material designs and high recycled content to streamline recycling processes and enhance sustainability. For example, in May 2023, TUBEX Aluminium Tubes achieved notable progress in sustainability. The company introduced a new mono-material aluminum tube named MonoRefill. This innovative packaging is crafted from 100% recycled aluminum and includes 95% post-consumer recycled content. The MonoRefill is intended for product refills, helping to significantly cut waste and enable easy recycling. It features a specialized alloy that allows the entire tube to be made from a single material, removing the need for plastic caps.
