Abstract

There are a lot of students in Our Lady of Fatima University – Valenzuela Campus, especially Senior
High School students. This research study aims to determine what is the impact of eco-friendly packaging on
the purchasing intention of Senior High School students. With that being said, fifty (50) Senior High School
students that fit the researchers’ criteria were asked to answer the survey questionnaire to gather data vital to
the study’s goal. To analyze the data, the researcher used Descriptive Statistics particularly the Frequency
Percentage to determine the results of the data that is collected. The researchers also used the formula of the
Mean to investigate the results. The findings revealed the overall mean of every sub-variable. The overall
mean for Customer Satisfaction is 3.38; the overall mean for Customer Loyalty is 3.46; the overall mean for
Brand Image is 3.42. Based on the indicators, these overall means fall in the range of 4.00-3.00 (Strongly
Agreed). These results demonstrate that eco-friendly packaging, therefore, has an impact, influence, and
relationship to customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, and the brand image of the company.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: The Impact of Eco-friendly… 1

1.0 Introduction

Our society has changed as a result of the increasing number of enterprises that are being founded.
Changes are both positive and negative. Due to the growing number of firms, business owners must take
steps to ensure that they can compete with their rivals. For them to be able to get the attention and the
loyalty of the people and to be able to compete with their competitors, they should know what is the needs
and wants of their target market. Packaging is one of the factors that might help them gain the trust and
loyalty of their customers.

According to The Alliance (2021), plastics have a unique set of qualities that make them extremely
useful. Plastic is almost irreplaceable in many applications due to its low cost, strength, lightweight, and
corrosion resistance. Plastic is most commonly used in packaging and building components such as
pipelines. However, according to Recycle Coach (2021), approximately 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been
produced globally to date. Also, by 2030, annual plastic water pollution might be 53 million tons (Amy
Barrett & PA Science, 2020). People and organizations are becoming more environmentally sensitive as
plastic garbage continues to grow at an alarming rate. With that being said, organizations are now shifting
from non-reusable packaging to eco-friendly reusable packaging because people are now more
environmentally aware of the ecological problems that plastic can do. Organizations are now thinking about
the environment's long-term viability as well as their corporate social responsibility.

Business owners yearn to satisfy their customers with the better production of products and it
includes their packaging. According to Moreau (2020), the primary physical contact of a retailer with a
consumer is what we called packaging. Packaging is not just a package. It also gives an impact on your
product. Using Eco-friendly products is one of the goals of the business owner as it has benefits for nature.
There is one level of connection with nature that amends the therapeutic occurrence in an environment of
the urban areas, which helps in activities such as substantial mental activity, this level of involvement is
"Observing" (Kaplan, 1984). Business owners tend to see the nature issues and became aware of it. In the
existing online retail, one of the earning traction is the materials that are connected to Eco-friendly
(Escursell et al., 2021). Eco-friendly packaging has also a standard, for knowing what is right and what the
considerations to call Eco-friendly packaging are. According to Nguyen et al., (2020); Prakash and Pathak,
(2017), there is a standard or characteristic that has been recommended in defining eco-friendly packaging,
which is suggested by the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (2011). There is a study that goes through the
viewpoint of the dimension of sustainable packaging. Eco-friendly packaging refers to one of the needed
things in your product, which is containing recycled materials, none hazardous materials, and even
renewable materials that permit effective recovery (Sustainable Packaging Coalition, 2011). Bamboo can
be an example of Eco-friendly packaging, this can be used for calendars and many products. Furthermore,

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: The Impact of Eco-friendly… 2

Compostable or Biodegradable Packaging is one of a trend right now, as we go through the issue of nature,
this can be a resolution such as it gives a second life to our gardens. As seeds are part of the packaging, after
utilizing them you can just use them in your garden and let them grow.

The major objective of this study is to determine how eco-friendly packaging affects the purchasing
intentions of SHS students in Our Lady of Fatima University. Not only the purchase intention, the
researchers also aims to know the advantages of eco-friendly bag instead of using plastic bags that can harm
the marine life. It threatens ocean condition and marine species. For instances, some marine animal
especially turtles tend to eat micro plastics, it's really a threat for their health. So in this study, the researchers
will know the significance of eco-bags and how it can affect consumers’ intention of buying. The
researchers conduct this study for us to know that the greatest contribution of using eco-friendly packaging
can help our economy clean, improve economic conditions and prevent from pollution. This paper examines
to determine the impact of eco-friendly packaging to the purchase intention of SHS students in Our Lady
of Fatima University especially among 15-20 years old, for us to know the important role of eco-friendly
packaging on our society. The study also aims to find out the advantages. Also, this research aims to locate
what are the consumer's behavior and attitude towards purchasing the eco-friendly packaging.

2.0 Review of Related Literature

This chapter presents the related literature and studies both from local and foreign sources. This
section also serves as a background information and evidence that this research has been conducted to fill
a gap between this sectors.

2.1 Local Related Literature

2.1.1 Purchasing habits of students toward Green Marketing in Nueva Ecija, Philippines
According to the findings of KES Santos (2017), green marketing can assist some
consumers in taking environmentally friendly actions. They also determine the green consumer
values, consumer behavior toward green products, the impact of green marketing on customer buy
intent, and factors influencing green product purchases. They also stated that people who purchase
environmentally friendly products do not immediately imply that they are environmentally
conscious. It is contingent on willingness and cost, as well as a preference for green products.
Consumers' purchase intentions are also influenced by their encounter with green marketing. They
urge that people be educated about their social obligations when purchasing, especially when it
comes to choosing green items over the not so eco-friendly products. They also mention that some
businesses and organizations want to boost their brand image by focusing on green marketing. In
addition, the government should take steps to protect our environment.

2.1.2 Designing Eco Bags for Product Attachment


According to Aguilar, A. et. al (2020), consumer knowledge of the harmful consequences
of single use plastic bags moved the focus of consumers to utilizing eco bags. However, it is
theorized that the user's use of the eco bag is intermittent due to a lack of emotional attachment.
The goal of this study is to see if design, elements like color, form, and material, which target
emotions, might influence product attachment. A total of 98 middle age women took part in a
masked experiment in which they were given eco bags as an incentive. After two weeks, a post
experiment interview was conducted to determine if the bag was discarded, kept, or used. And
here's what happened: colors and materials have been found to influence the attachment of
consumer products. In terms of consumer’s activities, those who abandoned the eco-bag had no
attachment to the product, and those who left it as it was preferred their eco-bag because of its

OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL


Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: The Impact of Eco-friendly… 7

design. Finally, participants who used this product liked the look of the eco bag. This result shows
how to design an eco-bag not only for storage, but also for its intended purpose.

2.1.3 How eco design can shape a greener future for the planet and the next generation.

Iya Gozum (2020) suggested that rethinking plastics that can improved product and
material design that makes them recyclable after use would reduce product and material leakage
into the environment. As a result, implementing eco-design guidelines will encourage
manufacturers to eliminate all unneeded packaging and replace it with recyclable, reusable, and
even compostable alternatives. And Redesigning PH’s waste system could be the solution to have
a greener future for the planet and the next generation. As according to the World Wide Fund for
Nature (WWF), plastic trash in the world's oceans could amount to 300 million tons by 2030. By
2030, or a decade from now, international organizations, governments, and industry leaders hope
to have cut carbon emissions in half, reduced carbon footprint, eliminated plastic, and designed
greener systems.

2.1.4 Brands, Consumers more conscious on zero waste ways

According to Andaya, K. (2020), the current global problem of plastic trash is becoming
more serious. Some firms and customers are reducing their usage of single-use plastic items to help
tackle this problem. Because some people are becoming minimalist and zero-waste consumers,
businesses are exploring alternatives in their product packaging. Customers that are more socially
conscious are supporting and investing in ecologically mindful brands. Some companies take action
about this concern. These include the Alcohol refilling station of the brand Cleene and they
collaborate with Mercury Drug. Consumers would need to bring their own clean, empty alcohol
bottles even from other brands that can contain liquids in 250ml, 500ml, or 1-liter sizes for them to
serve themselves the refill. With that being said, this initiative from different companies helps
consumers to contribute to the zero-waste value chain. Another example is the removing single-use
plastics in school supplies’ packaging. This action is organized by the French brand Carrefour
which replaced single-use plastic packaging with 100% recyclable packaging. Furthermore, due to
consumer expectations and environmental concerns, firms from many industries are constantly
upgrading their packaging techniques and materials. Additionally, based on the findings of Mintel,
more consumers are opting to incorporate more sustainable practices into their daily lives, and this
will serve as a reminder to brands to be more conscious when they develop products and packaging.

OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL


Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: The Impact of Eco-friendly… 8

Companies that provide items with minimal waste or a lower carbon impact will attract more
environmentally concerned customers. This shows that brands and consumers are now more
conscious about the environment and now sticking to zero waste ways.

2.1.5 PH consumer increasingly shifting to green packaging


According to Manila Bulletin (2020), eco-friendly packaging with smart and simple
designs will continue to influence the market and Filipinos. Filipino consumers will become more
aware of the effect of plastic packaging on the environment. The President of the Philippine
Institute of packaging stated that the Philippine manufacturing sector has appreciated stable growth
in the past years, especially in chemical products, electronics, and also for food. Go along with this
growth is the development of new packaging technologies. Also, there is a big transformation from
the global point of view favoring sustainable packaging with rising environmental awareness
among the shoppers. Manufacturers are now finding a way how to reduce their carbon footprints
and discover or find greener solutions for their packaging. To meet the increasing demand of the
consumers for eco-friendly packaging, the packaging industry is standing up to the challenge of
collaborating between retailers, recyclers, and packaging companies.

2.2 Foreign Related Literature

2.2.1 Consumers’ Purchase Intention and Willingness to Pay for Eco-Friendly Packaging in
Vietnam

According to Nguyen et. al (2021), most businesses employed plastics as packaging for
their consumers' items, which was only used once and then discarded. Plastic packaging could pose
a significant environmental impact with only one usage. Some firms are facing increased pressure
to reduce their usage of plastic packaging, not only from their customers but also from the
government and investors. As a result, a growing number of food manufacturers are adopting eco-
friendly packaging to protect their products. They also looked at the relationship between consumer
demographics and their attitudes toward environmentally friendly packaging. They also highlighted
that consumers' willingness to pay for environmentally friendly packaging varies depending on
price.

2.2.2 Intention to buy eco-friendly packaged products among young consumers of India: A study
on developing nation

From the study of Prakash and Pathak (2016), the goal of their paper is to look at how eco-
designed packaging affects consumer responses. The current study adds to our understanding of
environmentally friendly purchasing in the Indian context and provides insights into consumer
demand for environmentally friendly packaging in the Indian market. The study's findings indicated
that personal norms, attitude, environmental concern, and willingness to pay all influence buying
intention toward eco-friendly packaging. The research also offers some fascinating insights into
the attitudes of young customers regarding environmentally friendly packaging. These valuable
insights can aid marketers in establishing targeted tactics for young consumers and encouraging
them to lower their packaging's global environmental footprint.

2.2.3 The Impact of Eco-Friendly packaging on consumers purchasing decision

According to MJS Packaging (2012), the world packaging has changed, especially today
in the new information age where customers or consumers can buy the things they want anytime
and anywhere. Consumers are now highly informed and intelligent about the products they want to
buy. Since there are so many environmentally aware consumers, some companies need to create
environmentally friendly packaging to meet the desires of their customers or consumers.
Companies a create packaging that is recyclable, reusable, and biodegradable to help the
environment. Consumers also want a product packaging that is convenient to them and not hard to
use. Eco friendly packaging examples are glass, pouches, tubes, hot fill, multilayer, and more. One
of the main demands of consumers nowadays is eco-friendly packaging. The study stated that 30
percent of the shoppers choose eco-friendly packaging products today than in 2010. A quarter of
shoppers say that they are willing to buy in a brand that has an eco-friendly packaging and one-
third of shoppers conceded that they bought more of the product of the companies that have a tag
or mark "Recyclable" or "Made by Recyclable Material".

2.2.4 The Next Generation of Sustainable Food Packaging to Preserve Our Environment in a
Circular Economy Context

According to the study by Guillard, V. et al., (2018) Packaging is a critical component of


the international response to core concerns of sustainable food consumption, which is obviously
about reducing the environmental footprint of packaged food. An innovative sustainable packaging
solution attempts to reduce food waste and loss while also addressing food safety concerns by
preventing food-borne diseases and chemical contamination. Furthermore, it must address the long-

OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL


Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: The Impact of Eco-friendly… 10

term critical issue of persistent plastic trash accumulation in the environment, as well as the
conservation of oil and food material resources. Some solutions are presented to solve significant
international problems such as food and plastic waste reduction, as well as recurring material end-
of-life issues. By decoupling the food packaging industry from fossil feed stocks and allowing
nutrients to return to the soil, the production of microbial biodegradable polymers from agro-food
waste residues appears to be a promising route to creating an innovative, more resilient, and
productive waste-based food packaging economy. Mathematical simulation, based on modeling of
mass transfer and reactions into food/packaging systems, is a promising method to address the lack
of tools and approaches for correctly designing and adapting food packaging to food needs. The
next generation of models and tools in this area should aid the food packaging industry in validating
the benefits of new packaging in terms of usage.

2.2.5 Consumer attitudes on the use of plastic and cloth bags

Erkan Ari and Veyzel Yilmaz (2017) investigated Turkish customers' attitudes and
behaviors about the use of plastic and cloth bags. It is suggested that a structural equation model
be used. Environmental awareness of the use of plastic bags, societal pressure support for banning
plastic bags, and a desire to use cloth bags instead of plastic bags to limit the use of plastic bags. In
the structural model, these are referred to as endogenous latent variables. To summarize, consumers
who are ecologically conscientious and under social pressure are more likely to minimize their
usage of plastic bags and use cloth bags instead.

2.3 Theoretical Framework

The Green Marketing Theory is used to support this research paper. According to Fernando (2022),
green marketing is a technique of formulating and advertising products based on their perceived
environmental sustainability. Susan Ward (2020) also stated that green marketing is a technique of
advertising a product and services based on their benefit to the environment. It is also called Eco-marketing
and Environmental marketing. This type of marketing is commonly practiced by those companies that are
committed to making sustainable development and corporate social responsibility. This practice brings
awareness to the consumers about the problems that may arise in the environment. The concept of green
marketing happened as the after-effect of humans' negative doings on our planet. These show brands shift
their mission and practices from being profit-driven to environmentally conscious by using business
methods that have the least environmental impact (Lesley Vos, 2019). According to Indeed Editorial Team
(2022), the implementation of green marketing can help businesses efficiently rebrand their products to

OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL


Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: The Impact of Eco-friendly… 11

boost profits and brand loyalty. Furthermore, it becomes more popular as more people are now concerned
with environmental issues (Shopify, n.d.). Send Pulse (n.d.), also said that more people become aware of
the happenings in the environment. Consumers became more ecologically aware and now are eager to
purchase eco-friendly products despite their higher prices.

Through the years, there are so many businesses are being established whether it is online
businesses, food businesses, and other types of businesses because of that, there is also a vast amount of
consumers purchasing from different stores. Most of these businesses used non-reusable packaging. It is
one of the major contributors to plastic waste in our world. In relation to our research study, the researchers
thought that it is the most relevant to the aims of this study. Businesses that promoted and practice green
marketing have a higher chance of getting the loyalty of the customers, and a greater purchase intention
rate that can also lead to a good brand image. Furthermore, due to the ecological problems, consumers are
now more aware and they are now more conscious that is why they tend to buy from businesses that practice
sustainable development. Additionally, the researchers used this theory because it talked about creating an
alternative to sustain and protect our environment such as implementing the usage of eco-friendly and
reusable packaging rather than non-reusable packaging.

3.0 Methodology

3.1 Research Design

In conducting this study, the quantitative approach-descriptive design research design is defined as
a research method used by the researchers. Descriptive research design is a form of study that systematically
focuses on describing the population, phenomenon, or situation. Quantitative research includes a variety of
strategies for systematically studying social problems utilizing statistical or numerical data. As a result,
quantitative research entails measurement and presupposes that the phenomena under investigation can be
quantified. Its goal is to look for trends and correlations in data and to double-check the measurements
taken. (Watson, Roger 2015). Descriptive research aims to characterize a population, condition, or
phenomenon in a methodical and precise manner. It can answer the questions of what, where, when, and
how, but not why questions. A descriptive research plan can study one or more variables using a range of
research methodologies. Unlike experimental research, the researcher does not influence or change the
variables; instead, they are observed and measured. (Shona McCombes, 2019)

3.2 Research Locale

This research was conducted at Our Lady of Fatima University-Valenzuela Campus located in
Valenzuela City. This location was chosen because of its dense population. The students from Our Lady of
Fatima University-Valenzuela Campus, specifically the Grade 12 Senior High School students from the
ABM, GAS, HUMSS, and STEM strands, are the subjects of the study. The researchers are unable to
personally administer this study due to the intention of the COVID-19 pandemic that is currently circulating
in the country. The research study was conducted in the respective areas of the researchers and the
respondents who were taking part in the study.

3.3 Population and Sampling

The researcher used a purposive sampling technique, this technique is also known as judgement,
selective or subjective sample. Purposive sampling is a form of Non-probability sampling in which the
researchers depend on their own judgement when choosing individuals in participating in this research
study. The researchers intended to identify the impact in purchasing habits, advantages and disadvantages
of eco-friendly packaging in Senior High School Students of Our Lady of Fatima University in all strand.
The researchers gathered student’s ages 15-20 years old. There is 50 possible respondents who can
participate in the research survey. The researcher’s criteria in choosing the respondents for this research

3.4 Research Ethics

Research Ethics guided the rules of behavior for scientific researchers. To protect the dignity,
rights, and wellbeing of study participants, it is critical to follow ethical guidelines (WHO, n.d.)

The study of ethics, sometimes known as moral philosophy, is concerned with what is ethically
good and bad, right and wrong. The researchers should apply it while conducting their study. Participants'
confidentiality and privacy are very important. So in this study, the researchers will give a consent form
where their chosen respondent will answer if they are going to participate or not. The researchers will be

respondents will be kept confidential and keep private. Nonetheless, the researchers assured only the
truthful information.

3.5 Research Instruments

Due to the unexpected phenomena that we are facing, researchers tend to give alternatives to the
traditional way. Likewise, the researchers used the power of technology and the internet to gather the data
needed for the study. The researchers used the effectiveness of the Google Forms, whereby the researchers
will send the forms to the qualified respondent through the use of social media, such as messenger,
Facebook, and their OLFU Gmail account. The researcher's survey questionnaires are composed of 5 main
parts. Part 1 is composed of the demographic profile of the qualified respondents, such as age, sex, grade
level, strand, and how frequently the respondents purchased in a shop. Part 2 is composed of the
implementation of eco-friendly packaging, it contains 3 varied parts, (1) Customer Satisfaction (2)
Customers loyalty (3) Brand Image. Part 3 is composed of the effect of eco-friendly packaging on the
customer's satisfaction, which contains (insert the number of questions.) Part 4 is composed of the influence
of eco-friendly packaging on the loyalty of the customer, which contains (insert the number of questions).
Part 5 is composed of the relationship between eco-friendly packaging to the brand image. These questions
help the researchers to obtain the data for the study.

The researchers always want to have the consent of the qualified respondents. Through this,
researchers establish an informed consent that will solidify that the respondents are willing to answer the
survey honestly and correctly. Furthermore, this will not leave pressure on the respondents for permitting
them such as they have their own decisions and free will if they will be a part of this study or not. Qualified
respondents will go through the process of comprehension of the study and engaging with the needs of
informed consent.

The Likert scale, according to Kushak Anjaria (2022), is a largely utilized psychometric scale in
doing questionnaires. It is the most approachable way to measure the respondent's answer. Similarly, it is a
rating system that many people operated to assess, evaluate and analyze the perspective and perceptions of
the respondents. (Susan Jamieson, 2007). In inclining to the research question, qualified respondents can
select from several options, respondents can either select "strongly agree," "agree," "neutral," "disagree,"
or "strongly disagree." It can either be numerically classified. If the respondents strongly agree, it is
equivalent to number 1, and so on. The researchers more likely used this because they want to know if the
respondents agree or disagree with the given set of questions. Furthermore, researchers can easily identify
and evaluate the answer of the respondents about the customer's satisfaction, loyalty, and brand image on
using eco-friendly packaging.

3.6 Data Collection

The researchers’ will gather 50 respondents to answer the questions using Non-probability
sampling technique which is purposive or judgmental sampling method. This method collects the selected
sample using the criteria set or rules. The respondents must be ages in 15-20 years old Senior High School
students in Our Lady of Fatima University specifically any or all strand. After looking for the qualified
respondents, the researchers must first ask the respondents if they wanted to be part of the research study
but they have the rights to answer or not the questionnaires given to them. After they agreed, the researchers
will send the survey questionnaires to them and they will explain what the aims are and how important their
participation is. Assuming that the data is gathered, the researchers will analyze it thoroughly.

3.7 Data Analysis

After the researchers collected the data from the respondents, the results are analyzed by using
Descriptive Statistics, particularly Frequency Percentage wherein it determines the percentage of the result
for each data. It also allows the researcher to simplify wide amounts of data.

In this study, the researchers used the formula of % = F/N x 100 wherein:

F= is the number of answers

N= total number of respondents

OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL


Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: The Impact of Eco-friendly… 15

This formula is used to get the percentage of the profile of the respondents. The researchers divide
the frequency of answers by the total number of respondents and then multiply by 100. With that, the
researchers can get the frequency percentage.

Furthermore, the respondents also used the formula of the Mean and Standard Deviation to analyze
the results of the respondents' answers about the impact of eco-friendly packaging. So the
researchers add all the answers and divided them by the number of respondents who answered. And
to get the Standard Deviation, the researchers subtract the Mean2 to Mean.
