Drive Sales with Sustainable Plastics 

May 31, 2023 | EnCom Polymers

Over the last few years, sustainability has become a key concern for consumers. From consumer goods manufacturers to automakers to electronics and many more, customers want to see more sustainability efforts, and their expectations and values may shape whether or not manufacturers get the sale. No matter your market, the time is now to drive sales and satisfy customers by making the switch to sustainable plastics.

As you take consumer interests into account when designing new products, the sustainability of your materials matters. Read on to explore what sustainable plastics are, how customers feel about them, and how you can find high-quality, eco-friendly materials well-suited for your unique applications.

What are Sustainable Plastics?

There are many varieties of sustainable plastics, each made using unique materials that give the plastics an eco-friendly nature. Some sustainable plastics utilize natural materials like plant derivatives and starch in order to biodegrade. Though these offer unique eco-friendly advantages, they aren’t suitable for all applications and in some instances, they don’t offer the same level of durability as other forms. 

Other sustainable plastics use recycled materials, such as recycled feedstock. If you require a sustainable plastic that functions like a standard polymer material with an eco-conscious edge, recycled polymer materials are a strategic choice to consider. Due to their similar nature to traditional plastics in terms of strength and customization, they are suitable for a wide range of industries, from electronics to automotive and many more. 

Recycled polymer materials offer the same durability and advantages as standard plastics, but their recycled nature makes them an appealing alternative for customers avoiding traditional plastics in the products they purchase. With recycled sustainable polymers, you can create the high-quality products your customers count on with the sustainability efforts they’ve come to expect.

How do Customers Feel about Recycled Sustainable Plastics?

For more than 78% of surveyed US consumers, sustainability has shifted into top importance for the products they purchase. Recycled plastics are a strong, sustainable alternative to less eco-conscious materials, and customers are increasingly in favor of this material over less sustainable options. 

Customers using products made from recycled plastics reported that it positively impacted their purchase decisions, showcasing the advantage sustainable plastics offer manufacturers trying to stay ahead of the competition. In fact, 45% of consumers surveyed share that the presence of recycled plastic in a given product had a very positive effect on their desire to purchase the product. 

Better yet, customers were happy with the way sustainable plastics performed in their products. In the same study, more than 93% of respondents reported they were satisfied with products made from recycled plastic materials and planned to purchase them again. Using recycled plastics in your products can help you drive sales and encourage customer loyalty.

This trend continues throughout a wide range of industries, with customers expressing interest in seeing more sustainable plastic products in every industry, from consumer goods markets to the automotive sector, and so on. When asked what products the customers would find suitable for recycled plastic use, a large variety of answers were given: toys, vehicles, electronics, garden and yard products, food packaging, and many more. More than 33% of respondents gave the answer “for anything” — further showcasing how consumers are open to and eager for more products to be made from sustainable plastics.

The evidence is clear: customers are in favor of recycled plastics and are actively basing the presence of sustainable materials in their purchasing decisions. No matter your industry, sustainable plastics can entice and satisfy your customers.
