The use of technology was inspiring, and people there used global e-commerce platforms more than local online platforms or local shops. The e-commerce platforms they purchased fashion items from had created a distance between shoppers and local shops as customers could be spending money on businesses in different cities and countries instead of shopping locally. (...) “Our core value is to build a well-connected ecosystem that links local shoppers with local shops through local e-commerce platforms”, Al Dweik states.

The focus on sustainability can translate to customer loyalty, according to results from a Canada Post survey that gauged online shoppers’ attitudes toward packaging and the environment. It revealed that 41 percent of shoppers will shop more from retailers who promote an environmental cause, and 53 percent say they will shop more from retailers who try to reduce shipping packaging. Excessive shipping packaging is a top source of environmental waste, according to Canada Post, and shoppers are taking note. “The environment is becoming an increasingly important concern for customers, and merchants that take proactive steps to address that concern are positioning themselves well for the future,” the post said.

A farmers’ market clients
Type of practice Reuse for food
Name of practice A farmers’ market clients
Name of main actor Farmer's market clients
Type of actor(s) Farmers, Consumers
Location Australia
Stage of implementation Retail
What was/is being done? Shoppers at farmers’ markets in Australia affirm that they waste less of what they buy there because the produce seem to be fresher and to last a lot longer, meaning that less is thrown-out. (...) Farmers’ market clients also appreciate the taste of produce more that its look, while aesthetics are key for supermarket shoppers.
Outcomes and impacts Shorter producer/consumer chains lower the food environmental impact and allow more products (even if they aren't perfectly shaped) to reach the market.
