The survey results show that the main methods for stimulating consumers’ sustainable behaviour are the use of compostable packaging and abandoning chemical sprays.

Among them are excessive plastic packaging and high prices for eco-products. The presented activities determine the direction for managers how to lead enterprises to sustainability in the market.
