They came up with some interesting figures, to say the least, which show that consumers are increasingly turning towards more responsible and environmentally-friendly consumption.
Find out the 7 key figures from this study on the relationship between the French and the circular economy :
- 47% of French people associate the circular economy with responsible consumption.
- 78% of respondents think that brands should encourage consumers to turn more towards sustainable consumption.
- 69% of consumers expect companies to communicate more about their commitments.
- 62% of French people prefer to sell rather than throw away products they no longer use.
- 70% of them prefer to use websites and apps that sell products between individuals (such as Leboncoin, Vinted, etc.) to buy second-hand products. 78% of respondents opt for this type of purchase for economic reasons (less expensive products).
- 34% of 18-34 year-olds rent rather than buy.
