An article in Convenience Store Decisions wonders “Can Packaging Boost Sales?”<\/p>\n

According to the article, in November 2008 McDonald’s reported that 82 percent of its packaging in its nine largest markets is now made from renewable materials. And “convenience store retailers are following Mickey D\u2019s lead, seeking to\u00a0capture a greater share of takeout sales as well as respect the earth with reliable, environmentally friendly packaging that won\u2019t drive up the cost of takeout meals.”<\/p>\n

The question is: how much of a selling point is green packaging at retail? Is the sales lift worth the investment in green packaging?<\/p>\n

(At the risk of sounding naive,) I think well-conceived green packaging (starting with reduced packaging) would be a win-win-win: lower cost for the retailer, higher acceptability with the consumer, and better for the planet.<\/p>\n

On a different note, we do conveniently ignore the true cost of the excessive throw-away packaging. If the cost of disposing that were added to the price of the product, the switch over to green packing might be faster.<\/p>\n

I recall reading about a protest in the UK a couple of years ago by consumers who unwrapped excessive packaging at the cash-till and left it there – imagine that at your local supermarket on a Saturday!<\/p>\n
