Paper, Packaging Industry Gains Positive Marks In a year like no other, consumers experienced a transition to online shopping, learning, and working, but those aware of the Paper & Packaging – How Life Unfolds campaign reported double-digit boosts in pos- itive attitudes and perceptions of essential, sustainable paper and packaging products. New data from Isobar, a renowned market research company, reveal that consumers aware of the campaign prefer paper-based product packaging nearly 2 to 1 over plastic; and, 33 percent, or one in three, avoid plastic product packag- ing if they can. The Attitude and Usage Tracking (A&U), conducted by Isobar in November 2020, measures the results of the Paper and Packaging Board’s (P+PB) campaign and shows that 86 percent trust the products made by the paper and packaging industry, up 7 points over the five-year average.Eighty-four percent view paper-based product packaging as an essential part of everyday life, up 14 points over the five-year average, and 77 per- cent think more highly of companies that package their products in paper-based packaging, a 14 percent increase over the five-year average, and a 33 percent increase since the start of the campaign in 2015. Isobar’s 2019 Segmentation study for P+PB showed that 84 percent of consumers expressed concern over the environment; however, natural, paper-based mate- rials offer a recognized antidote, with A&U data show- ing that 86 percent report corrugated boxes are easy to recycle and 87.3 percent agreeing that recycling pa- per-based products is still worthwhile.
