Up six points from last year’s survey, 63 percent of consumers are now less likely to buy products with pack- aging that is harmful to the environment. And their intentions are reflected in their actions: 71 percent already engage in reusable and refillable activities (and 80 percent are interested in buying refillable packag- ing products to reduce their environmental impact), while over half engage in reducing food and packaging waste. Narrowing in on sustainable packaging specifically, 71 percent of consumers are actively choosing products due to the sustainability factor of the product packaging. Inter- est in purchasing products in sustainable packaging has increased since 2022, especially among younger consum- ers and high earners.
