Give the People What They Want! A Road Trip Through the Consumer Mindset on Plastics, Packaging, Recycling, and What They Expect from the Brands They Buy From

No matter the country, consumers “get recycling.” They understand what they’re supposed to do and they think it’s a good thing to do that everybody should be doing! But how well the system is working varies by geography. And a working “guilt assuaging" system is key to how they feel about the materials they ultimately have to discard — and to how they feel about the brands they buy from. This session will dive into the latest American and global insights from Shelton Group, the country’s leading marketing communications agency entirely focused in sustainability, and reveal what people believe, expect and want related to sustainability and the products they buy/use every day.
