Approximately 43 percent of Romanians identified themselves as ethical consumers in 2024 - 72 percent avoided the waste of food, for example by buying products close to the expiry date. Meanwhile, 43 percent of ethical consumers used textile bags instead of plastic ones, which was considerably higher than the share of non-ethical consumers doing the same thing.
According to the source: "Ethical consumers take an integrated approach when deciding which products and services to buy. In addition to caring for the environment, they use their purchasing power to promote products, brands and retailers that promote values ​​such as fairness, solidarity and respect for others."
