The #corrugated industry has been working on #sustainability for a long time. They recently did a study called a life cycle assessment (LCA) which shows that U.S. box makers have reduced the #environmental impact of corrugated boxes by a lot. They cut #greenhouse gas emissions by 50% through years of making improvements.
So, what does this mean for brands and stores trying to attract #environmentally-conscious shoppers?
Well, a recent study found that consumers really care about #sustainability, and they're not just talking about it. They're actually backing it up with their money. More and more, people are choosing to buy from companies that care about the environment as much as they do. This shows a growing commitment to fighting climate change together.
