Green Consumption Continues To Increase As Consumers Pursue Sustainable Environmental Protection.

According to the financial times, according to the research of retail The Co-op, sales of UK's sustainable products and services have reached a record high of 20 years. In 2018, British consumers spent 29 billion 700 million pounds on sustainable products, which was more than 3 billion 100 million pounds at the start of 1999, about ten times. The study covered pure vegetarian and organic foods, sustainable aquatic products, ethical purchases of beauty products, second-hand clothing and bicycles. In addition, 2000 people were surveyed, including surveys in charitable shops and donations to charities.

The Co-op Food executive Jo Whitfield said that British businesses and non-governmental organizations took the lead in promoting sustainable ethical products such as "Free Range Eggs" to fair trade bananas (Fairtrade bananas). In addition, the British government encouraged energy efficient light bulbs and clean energy sources. Now the UK has billions of pounds of sustainable products market. Another The Co-op announced for the first time that recycled plastic film is used for fresh vegetables or microwave food. The retailer produces more than 750 million plastic films every year and will concentrate on recycling in its own stores. Only 1/5 of the 2 million 300 thousand tons of plastic produced in the UK are recycled each year, and 1 million 200 thousand tons of plastic packaging will eventually be buried.
