Consumers expect recyclable packaging from food brands
In a national survey conducted for the Carton Council of North America, Denton, Texas, by Research+Data Insights, 91% of consumers said they expect food and beverage brands to actively help increase the recycling of their packages. The survey, which included nearly 2,500 U.S. adults, showed a 5% increase when compared to 2013 research that asked the same question.
Additionally, the research revealed environmental issues are becoming more top-of-mind to consumers when making purchasing decisions. Seventy-seven percent report considering the effect of their purchase on the environment.
