Today, the awareness of the consumers as a result of the serious increase in the environmental problems makes it compulsory for companies to meet their expectations and demands. In this context, companies are developing various strategies to attract or retain environmentally conscious consumers as well as to convince and raise awareness for the other consumers with their products.
