27 Aug 2019 --- In a survey of 1,000 US consumers, consulting firm Category Partners (CP) found that the majority of consumers do not mind or even prefer buying food in plastic packaging. The survey examined which types of foods consumers preferred in plastic as well as the demographics of the consumers. The results were “not surprising” to Director of Research, Cara Ammon, who has seen a trend in plastic packaging grow in the country. These findings show that US consumers deviate from the global consumers’ concern over too much plastic packaging.
