This percentage is significantly higher than for cardboard (15%), plastic (11%) or metal (4%). The preference was particularly clear in seven out of nine food and beverage categories, with approval ratings of more than or even significantly more than 50%. The frontrunners were sweet spreads (85%), alcoholic beverages (79%), and spices (62%).

The survey data comes from a YouGov survey conducted in August of this year, in which 2,011 consumers in Germany were surveyed.
