IN SOCIAL CONVERSATION RELATED TO COVID-19, POLLUTION AND RECYCLING COME UP LINKED TO DEALING WITH THE VIRUS

A i r P o l l u t i o n

Air pollution is a discussed concern,

given higher death risk to Coronavirus

patients. There is conversation about

improvement of air quality in various

parts of the world, including in some

of America’s biggest cities. Improving

environmental health is seen as the

bittersweet upside to COVID-19.

“Wow... Earth is recovering - Air pollution is slowing down

- Water pollution is clearing up - Natural wildlife returning

home Coronavirus is Earth’s vaccine We’re the virus”

R e c y c l i n g

Recycling and reusable items are being discussed

in the context of safety. People are sharing ways to

make reusable face masks, safely store food

bought from the store, and how to clean reusable

bags. Medical professionals have been forced to

recycle protective gear as a result of supply

shortages which comes up as well.

“Nature is taking a breath when the rest of us are holding

ours.” @marinakoren reports on the strange ways the

natural world is already feeling the effects of the pandemic.”

“The only thing needed to make this face mask is fabric! It

has a unique pocket that you can choose to add, and

because it is made from fabric, it is washable and reusable.”

“Are reusable bags risky? Many people use reusable bags

as a responsible choice. We do this in my family as well. It's

a best practice (even before the times of pandemic) to wash

your reusable bags on a regular basis.”

In conversation related to COVID-19 this past month, we see more mentions of Air Pollution and Recycling than about Food Delivery and Takeout.

5 implications

Brands need to differentiate on sustainability; there are very few companies that

stand out.

Simplify the language: sustainability is not well understood and, while broad in

definition, limiting in perception.

Need to take citiz/sumer beyond waste and packaging and demonstrate the broader

dimensions of sustainability.

Speak to the consumer benefit: it is not sufficient for consumers to feel good about

their purchase decisions.

While there is a say-do gap, this is not a reason to not proceed. Citiz/sumers can be

motivated with the proper messaging.
