Abstract

This study offers a comprehensive exploration of the impact of environmentally friendly materials on consumers' willingness to purchase products in the context of sustainable packaging design. By addressing the research gap regarding how specific environmental materials influence consumer behavior, the study reveals key insights into the relationship between sustainable packaging and purchasing decisions.Through comprehensive analysis, it is revealed that the use of environmental protection materials can enhance consumers' cognitive value of products, enhance brand image and promote purchase decisions, while emphasizing the important impact of consumers' environmental awareness, education level and income level on environmental protection packaging preferences. In addition, consumers' environmental awareness, education level and income level are important factors affecting their preference for environmentally friendly packaging. At the same time, the environmentally friendly materials used in sustainable packaging design also have a positive impact on corporate reputation and brand image, which promotes the development of the whole industry in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable direction. The results are of great significance for enterprises to formulate effective packaging strategies and improve market competitiveness.
