| Summary: | Sustainability has become one of the constant concerns of active participants in the food
chain: producers, traders, consumers, and regulators. The paper aims to identify consumers'
perceptions of the use of sustainable food packaging, in an exploratory survey of a sample of
280 respondents, knowing the importance of recycling to create a healthy and sustainable
environment. The relevance of the research derives from the need to know the behavior of
consumers in a certain geographical area, with regard to the aspects related to the recycling
and sustainability of packaging. This is a component of green marketing that involves the
management of activities related to the reconsideration of products and production processes,
as well as the use of eco-sustainable packaging. The validation of the research hypotheses
was done with methods of non-parametric analysis of the interdependencies between the
identified variables, the results obtained highlighting the need to study this issue on a
representative sample, using a more complex questionnaire. 81% of the study respondents
identified as the main benefit for the use of sustainable packaging the possibility of living in
a less polluted environment, an essential component of the development of ecological and
sustainable food systems, being identified in the ability of producers and traders to
communicate the placement on the market of sustainable packaging for marketed products |
