Between April 24th and May 9th 2006, Newton Marketing & Research of Norman, Oklahoma conducted a survey of consumer buying habits. It interviewed 752 respondents across the US on consumer food and beverage packaging preferences.

According to the survey, “glass packaging is the overwhelming first choice of consumers for preserving the quality, purity, and the taste of food. It is also seen as the all around most healthy form of packaging.”

Findings from this study also indicate that “when it comes to the ‘organic consumers,’ the preference for glass packaging increases significantly.”
