ime was when you could expect to be dismissed as a “tree-hugger” if you showed a preference for ozone- friendly deodorants. However, a recent study by Simon Fraser University shows that people who adopt eco-friendly behaviours generally experience greater life satisfaction. Small wonder, then, that more and more consumers are checking green credentials before buying a product, as these growing trends reveal.


Most of us have a stash of plastic bags we’ve brought home from the supermarket and experience a twinge of smug satisfaction when we re-use them. But what about nixing those bags altogether?


POOH-POOH, PACKAGING!


That’s what Cape Town’s Nude Foods has done – here all products are sold by weight and packed in containers that shoppers have bought from home (although Consol jars and cotton bags are available for those who’ve forgotten theirs).


Shoppers are also becoming choosier when it comes to individual product packaging: overseas, Ecologic Brands has produced a range of paper bottles that’s been used for everything from cosmetics to cat litter. Visit: www.nudefoods.co.za
