Consumers Want to Know: Is This Packaging Eco-Friendly?

Eco-friendly packaging matters. Consumers consider environmental impact in their purchase decisions.

On-Pack Messaging Adds Value

In surveys, consumers were shown packaging with “eco-friendly” front panel graphics and supporting eco-friendly story. The results were:*

• Rated Outstanding for “likely to purchase based on this information” by consumers
• Rated Outstanding for “positive impact on brand opinion,” by consumers
• Rated Above Average for “likely to purchase a new brand” by target consumers

In qualitative focus groups:*

• 100% of consumers wanted the information and felt it added value to the brand.
• Consumers stated they would choose a package with sustainability messaging over one without.
