Abathengi bafuna uzinzo, kodwa abafuni ukulahlekiswa. I-Innova Market Insights iphawula ukuba ukusukela ngo-2018, amabango okusingqongileyo anjenge-"carbon footprint," "ukunciphisa ukupakishwa," kunye "nokungenaplastiki" kwiipakethe zokutya neziselo ziphantse zaphindwa kabini (92%). Nangona kunjalo, ukwanda kolwazi lozinzo kuphakamise inkxalabo malunga namabango angaqinisekiswanga. "Ukuqinisekisa abathengi abaqaphela indalo, sibone ukwanda kweminikelo yeemveliso kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo esebenzisa iimvakalelo zabathengi ngamabango 'aluhlaza' anokuthi angaqinisekiswa," utshilo u-Aiyar. "Kwiimveliso ezinezibango eziqinisekisiweyo malunga nokuphela kobomi, siza kuqhubeka nokusebenza ukujongana nokungaqiniseki kwabathengi malunga nokulahlwa ngokuchanekileyo kolu pakethe ukuze sikhuthaze ulawulo olusebenzayo lwenkunkuma." Iingcali zendalo zilindele "inani elikhulu lamatyala" emva kokubhengezwa kwe-UN ngezicwangciso zokuseka isivumelwano songcoliseko lweplastiki lwehlabathi, ngelixa abalawuli becinezela intengiso yobuxoki njengoko iimfuno zeenkampani ezinkulu zokucoca inkunkuma yeplastiki zisanda. Kutshanje, iMcDonald's, iNestle, kunye neDanone zibikwe ukuba aziyithobeli imigomo yokunciphisa iplastiki yaseFransi phantsi komthetho "womsebenzi wokulumka". Ukusukela oko kwaqhambuka ubhubhane we-COVID-19, abathengi baye bakhetha ukupakishwa kweplastiki.
Ngenxa yeemfuno zococeko ezinxulumene nobhubhane, imvakalelo yokulwa neplastiki ipholile. Okwangoku, iKhomishini yaseYurophu ifumanise ukuba ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha (53%) seembango zemveliso ezivavanywe ngo-2020 zinike "ulwazi olungacacanga, olulahlekisayo, okanye olungenabungqina malunga neempawu zendalo yemveliso". E-UK, iGunya loKhuphiswano kunye neeMarike liphanda indlela iimveliso "eziluhlaza" ezithengiswa ngayo kunye nokuba abathengi bayalahlekiswa na. Kodwa indlela yokuhlamba indalo ikwavumela iimpawu ezithembekileyo ukuba zinike iingxelo eziqinisekisiweyo ngokwesayensi kwaye zifumane inkxaso kwiinkqubo ezicacileyo nezilawulwayo ezifana neekhredithi zeplastiki, ezinye zicebisa ukuba singene "kwihlabathi elisemva kwe-LCA." Abathengi behlabathi lonke bafuna ngakumbi ukucaca kwizimangalo zokuzinza, apho ama-47% efuna ukubona impembelelo yokusingqongileyo yokupakisha ibonakaliswa kumanqaku okanye kumanqaku, kwaye ama-34% athi ukwehla kwamanqaku ekhabhoni kuya kuba nefuthe elihle kwizigqibo zabo zokuthenga.
