Environmental protection affects consumption behavior of 2/3 of Poles

Six out of ten (62%) European consumers say they would be willing to pay more for food products in packaging containing less plastic. A similar number (59%) say they sort and recycle more waste than five years ago. When it comes to Poles, 67% of those polled said that environmental protection significantly affects their consumption behavior or is a very important factor for them, according to research carried out at the request of DS Smith. This is the highest result in all of Europe. Only 61% of Belgians, 56% of Germans and 51% of Brits expressed a similar view.

“Poles, unlike respondents in other countries, indicate that packaging producers are solely responsible for the use of recyclable packaging. In other countries, producers of consumer goods are perceived as being responsible,” the study said.
