JAKARTA, Indonesia, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As the impact of climate change increases, consumer awareness is on the rise. According to data from Statista, by 2022, around 20 percent of consumers surveyed in the United Kingdom (UK) said that their purchasing behavior has become much more sustainable in the last five years. There were no survey respondents in the UK who said they were buying fewer sustainable products in 2022 compared to five years ago.
