Environmentally Safe!!

American consumers are willing to pay more for packaging they consider environmentally safe, according to a recent study. Marketing firm Michael Peters Group says 78 percent of this nation's shoppers are willing to pay extra for a product packaged with recyclable or biodegradable materials.

More than three-quarters of the 1,000 adults surveyed said their purchase decisions are affected by a company's reputation on environmental issues and nearly nine out of every ten respondents claimed environmental concerns influence their purchases.
