Following are: recyclable products (12%), plastic products, such as bottles, cups and bags (9%), biodegradable products (7%), ecogab bags (7%), cosmetics (6%), aluminum products, such as cans (5%), among other less cited answers. A fraction of 21% did not mention any product. Regarding consumption habits, despite the fact that 66% of respondents tend to buy sustainable products sometimes, 77% say they are very willing to change consumption habits to protect the environment, and if they could choose , nearly all (94%) would opt for products with information on product certifications on the packaging. Still reinforcing the trend of public awareness of Rock in Rio, 69% of respondents believe that individual attitudes contribute a lot to sustainability and the preservation of the environment and 84% believe that they take more sustainable attitudes than their parents. “The results demonstrate the importance of acting now. We want a collective protagonism to solve such urgent environmental and social issues, which is why Suzano works on several fronts, helping to make each person's life more sustainable through our products. The future is in our hands”, says Talita Pareja Sato, Communication and Brand manager at Suzano. The survey also asked people about issues related to carbon emissions.
