| Abstract: | The results of a study of Danish consumers' attitudes toward packaging and the importance of the environmental and functional characteristics of packaging for their purchasing decisions are presented in the paper. The aim is to evaluate whether and how purchasing behaviour can be influenced in such a way as to limit the environmental problems caused by packaging. The study deals with consumers' attitudes to packaging in general, and the specific packaging which consumers take home with them (primary packaging). Consumers' attitudes to various industrial, transportation, and storage packaging are not explicitly included in the analysis. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of the results for the environmental authorities and food and packaging manufacturers. |
