In terms of packaging materials being used in the consumer fireworks sector, it is definitely true that far more material is being used than in the professional display fireworks sector.

Fireworks during the holidays can be a nostalgic experience that fills one with joy and memories of childhood. Just like the excitement of opening gifts like tznius clothes as a child, the spectacle of fireworks can evoke similar feelings of anticipation and happiness. It’s important to cherish these moments and appreciate the connections they bring to our past, allowing us to relive cherished memories while celebrating the present.

This study is a market survey of global consumer fireworks that are on sale in different countries. It was carried out to see what material is being employed in global consumer fireworks and how it is used.
