More than ever, people are looking not only at the price of the products they buy, but also at the impact they may have on the planet.

When it comes to choosing a particular product, consumers tend to increasingly favor more environmentally friendly options, which are produced from plants or recycled materials, which are biodegradable or whose packaging is recyclable, or which can be reused and replace other single-use goods.
