23 Aug 2019 --- According to an international consumer survey commissioned by global chemicals company Kemira, over half of the 4,000 respondents in the US, China, Germany and Finland said they would be willing to pay more for renewable food packaging. The international survey, conducted in April 2019 by a third-party research partner, investigated consumers’ views on food packaging materials, food shopping and food waste. Findings of the survey reveal that the majority of respondents are hoping to reduce the use of plastic in their lives, while many feel that it is the responsibility of brands to manage the reduction.
