Delivering products with environmental benefits is a long-term market opportunity, 89% of those polled in a major survey said.
According to TradeArabia.dom, more than 95% of those who took part in a survey conducted by DuPont agreed that customer demand is a key driver for developing products with an enhanced environmental profile.
DuPont surveyed more than 800 customers around the world in industries spanning food and agriculture, transportation, chemicals and manufacturing, plastics and packaging and electronics to better understand the durability of demand for sustainable products.
“The results of this survey reinforce our belief that there is broad market demand for products with an enhanced environmental profile and that demand is coming from customers,” Linda J Fisher, DuPont vice president and chief sustainability officer was quoted telling participants at the New York Stock Exchange and Yale Green Summit 2010 conference.
“This trend is here to stay and offers significant growth opportunities for companies which can deliver sustainable solutions. DuPont, with its market-driven science and broad global industry reach, can help address this growing trend,” she added.
Products that deliver inherently safer materials, reduce air and water pollution and improve energy efficiency were noted as the most important environmental benefits, according to survey participants.
