A survey conducted by McKinsey & Company revealed that 67% of consumers consider sustainability when making purchasing decisions, and 43% are willing to pay more for products packaged sustainably2. This shift in consumer behavior has prompted companies to rethink their packaging strategies, leading to the adoption of materials such as biodegradable plastics, recycled paper, and compostable packaging.
