Blackpool, Lancashire -- (SBWire) -- 07/21/2015 --A recent survey jointly conducted by one of the world's largest PR firms and global analytics specialists found that product packaging is the most effective way to influence consumers of a product's sustainability. The survey was conducted on 9,709 consumers spread over the 9 biggest countries in the world according to GDP. The research indicates that consumers are much more informed of issues around sustainability than they were in 2011 or 2013 with a significant 84% stating that they would prefer products and services from socially and environmentally responsible companies. Furthermore, 88% wanted to know of the sustainability activities of the company they were purchasing from.

One of the world's largest sources of product packaging is shrink wrap, which recently revealed its sustainability potential in a series of recycling initiatives. As a staple of the manufacturing process it is considerably versatile in its uses and is considered ideal for communication with consumers due to its flexible and transparent film which allows information to be added easily to any product.
