To help mark the 46th anniversary of Earth Day, hundreds of groups across North America have registered their events on earthday.org. Although numerous associations are doing their part to help fuel the environmental movement, consumers still are looking for guidance when it comes to one of the most common environmental practices: recycling.
A national survey administered by Research+Data+Insights for the Carton Council of North America found that 91 percent of consumers say they expect food and beverage brands to actively help increase the recycling of their packages. With responses from nearly 2,500 U.S. adults, the survey documents this as a 5 percent increase compared with 2013 research that asked the same question.
