Albany, NY (PRWEB) January 22, 2014 -- Household Care Packaging Trends - UK - January 2014

Packaging is central to both how household care products are used and how they communicate their benefits to consumers, and the latter includes the promotion of technologies and solutions that encourage greener behaviour. Younger people are particularly likely to voice green or ethical sentiments but not act upon these beliefs, so more initiatives are needed from manufacturers to reduce confusion about recycling and increase the purchasing of more environmentally friendly packaging formats.
