Sustainable Development through Waste Management: An Empirical Research through Greek Supermarkets
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this research is to examine the perspective of the costumers concerning the environmental practices that are applied by grocery stores (Supermarkets), especially in relation to packaging and food products that have expired. In order to arrive to a conclusion, a questionnaire was distributed amongst Greek costumers. The results of this survey showed that packaging and expired food products are considered by Greek consumers, as a big environmental problem. In detail, they think that these problems are not handled in a resultful way by the Supermarkets, although the Supermarkets are somewhat environmental friendly. Moreover, consumers are ethical-aware concerning their purchases, and they are willing to visit another supermarket (than their local one) or a "green" store that is more environmental friendly. However they are not willing to reward any environmental practices of their local supermarkets, if they have to suffer higher prices.
