Recommended Actions 2

Qualify biodegradable/plant-based encapsulation suppliers ahead of microplastics restrictions

Regulatory convergence on microplastics is shifting demand toward biodegradable shell materials, so early dual-sourcing protects continuity.

Monitor supplier capacity expansions (e.g., Givaudan Singapore, Capsulae spray drying) for negotiation leverage

Multiple capacity investments suggest improving availability, which buyers can leverage in upcoming contract renewals.
