Scientists deem that humans should take actions to protect the environment at once due to global warming. If it cannot be went through, there will be a survival crisis.
Fortunately, more consumers pay attention to environmental protection when they go shopping. Some researchers do some research to learn about their consuming habits and how they recycle.
According to this research, the recyclability, quality and cost of products are taken into consideration. The majority of people reckon it is essential to produce more eco-friendly products for manufacturers. Although it seems that people focus on the environmental effects of products, quality and price are still the main points for customers. Quality is the most significant factor for consumers and price is the second. There are also 49% of individuals who regard health and safety as a factor before purchasing and 37% who regard environmental influence as a factor. 72% participants pay attention to the environmentally friendly goods than before and 81% believe they will buy more eco-friendly products in the following 5 years.
As an increasing number of customers are willing to spend money on eco-friendly goods and they change their purchasing behavior, firms must shoulder the responsibility to develop circular economy. What is more, plastic is thought to be the least eco-friendly (77%) in packaging industry while paper is regarded as the most environmentally-friendly material (55%).
Apart from the concern about packaging, humans also concern the cause of global warming. Most interviewees reckon companies have the responsibility to design eco-friendly products but a quarter of interviews believe chemical industry is the most careless about the environment among nine industries given to them and it is less likely to talk about environmental protection. Ironically, chemical industry plays an important role in recycle and reusable materials but plastic which is produced by chemical corporations is regarded as a dominating pollution all over the world.
However, it has an impact on chemical industry so it should produce more sustainable products to reduce negative emotions of customers and make profits. Actually, chemical industry is a critical driver for circular economy so it should be a leader rather than a straggler. Provided that chemical industry is able to face the challenge, there will be 38500 posts for Americans and billions of dollars due to the recyclability of plastic.

For the sake of making profits, environmental protection should be listed on the agenda.
