The objective of this project is to draw up a comprehensive programme for the development of the country's packaging industries taking into account national requirements and the maximum u tilisation of domestic raw materials. One input to th is project is a study fo reca stin g the short- and medium-term consumption of packaging in the United Mexican States, so that an assessment can be made of the country's installed and planned production capacity from which to investigate the need for new packaging production u n its. Pira, the UK national research association for paper and board, printing and packaging, has been commissioned to carry out th is study and, as principal contractors, engaged Mexican counterpart support through sub contracting to Laboratorios Nacionales de Fomento Industrial (LANFI) to help in obtaining published statistics ar.d unique data from field visits in Mexico. These investigations and their subsequent analyses by Pira's Techno-Economics Group have resulted in this report - a statistical and economic review of the packaging industries of the United Mexican States 1980-1985. STUDY COVERAGE This study investigates the five major packaging material categories of: metals; plastics; glass; paper, paperboard and wood; their various combinations and packaging containers made therefrom. Data has been collected on their production and consumption, broken down by packaging material and pack type, and end-use applications respectively for the period 1975-1980, and a fo recast made covering the period 1980-1985.
