How much do Canadians care about environmentally friendly food packaging?

The resounding answer from the approximately 1,000 Canadian and 1,000 American participants that were interviewed in September as part of a survey by Asia Pulp & Paper Canada was they're very concerned about such packaging, and more than half will seek it out.

Here are some of the takeaways from the recently released survey results:

• 77% of Canadians want more environmentally friendly/green packaging for food products
• 58% of Canadians seek out food that is packaged in containers that can be recycled or reused
• 50% of Canadians actively seek out food that is packaged in an environmentally friendly way
• 32% of Canadians actively seek out restaurants that embrace sustainability practices throughout their operations
