Many businesses and consumers may not be aware of the benefits and proper usage of inflatable packaging. A lack of education and awareness can hinder its adoption in the market. While inflatable packaging is lightweight and efficient, the disposal process can be complex. Consumers and businesses may find it challenging to recycle or dispose of inflatable packaging properly, leading to environmental concerns
