How sustainable does packaging need to be today - and how much does this actually determine purchasing behaviour? Dr Daniel Bornemann, Senior Partner at the international consulting firm Simon-Kucher, gets to the bottom of this question in a recent, representative study. The survey was conducted for the fifth time together with the market research institute YouGov - and shows a clearer picture than ever in 2025.<\/p>\n

What is particularly striking is that two thirds of consumers now prioritise reducing the use of materials as much as possible. Avoiding packaging is therefore not just a media buzzword, but a concrete consumption criterion. At the same time, unpackaged products are becoming much more popular - a trend that poses a real challenge for manufacturers of packaging solutions.<\/p>\n

In conversation with Dr Bornemann, we discuss key study results, surprising findings - such as the effect of the one-way deposit on milk drinks introduced at the beginning of 2024 - and the question of how much willingness to pay and ecological demands are really compatible.<\/p>
