Awareness and Knowledge Sample Clauses

Awareness and Knowledge. The first common theme discovered in multiple studies is the analysis of awareness and knowledge of participants about bio-based products. Some studies made general observations about the relatively low level of awareness, others quantified aspects such as familiarity and knowledge. The level of familiarity with bio-based products was mostly analysed through self-assessment of the participants, while their specific factual knowledge was mostly tested by researchers. The most important observations across the different studies are summarized below. Know well what bio-based products are Heard about bio-based products Xxxxxxxx 2013 Xxxxxx et al. 2013 Xxxxxx et al. 2017 Xxxxx 2016 Xxxxxxx et al. 2015 50 40 30 10 0 Awareness of bio-based products Five studies quantified the level of awareness of their respondents with bio-based products. Figure 2 shows that all studies found a similar range of participants who had heard about bio-based products prior to the study. One study asked about bio-based products in general (Xxxxxxx et al. 2015), the others about the specific bio-based products addressed in the study (i.e. bioplastics (Xxxxxxxx 2013; Xxxxx 2016; Xxxxxx and Xxxxx 2017) and wood polymer composites (Xxxxxx et al. 2013)). These results show that overall awareness of bio- based products lies around 50%. Four of these studies additionally analysed the familiarity with bio-based products, quantifying how many people stated to know well what the bio- based products in question were. The results are very divergent, which is especially striking in the cases of the lowest and highest value (7 and 32%, respectively), since they both addressed bioplastics. A cause for this difference could be the way in which the question was posed, the answers were bundled or the composition of the sample. The second highest value reported by Xxxxxxx et al. (2015) represents an average over 7 countries, with values ranging from 5.8% in the Netherlands to 40.9% in Italy. This shows that there are great regional differences to be taken into account. Figure 2: Awareness of bio-based products: Percentage of respondents that have heard about bio-based products before the study (blue) and state to know well what bio-based products are (orange). Next to the awareness of participants, some studies analysed the knowledge about bio- based products. Two studies assessed the self-estimated knowledge level of participants. Xxxxx (2016) found that one third of participants rated their level of k...

Awareness and Knowledge. The results show that the awareness of the existence of bio-based products seems to lie around 50%. While there is a general understanding of what bio-based products are among this consumer group, specific knowledge about product characteristics is mostly missing and misconceptions occur. The relatively low level of awareness can be a barrier for further market development of bio-based products, if the fact that they are bio-based is to be the unique selling point. In some cases, producers might want to market their products as bio- based, in others, they may choose to simply advertise a lower price or better properties. Awareness is especially important in the first case. This is similar for knowledge: if consumers are to be convinced to buy bio-based products, a low level of knowledge about advantages of bio-based products can be counterproductive. However, it is questionable whether this can be solved on a general level – bio-based products have very different properties and impacts, and general knowledge may not be helpful or convincing to consumers, if they do not receive specific information about the bio-based product in question.

Awareness and Knowledge. It would appear that consumers do care about products being environmentally-friendly, but do not particularly care whether a product is bio-based or not. This would imply that (a) on the large, being bio-based is not a unique selling point (it is merely a differentiator); (b) it is not necessary that the consumer understands what a product being bio-based means; (c) communication should not focus on the fact that a product is bio-based only, but especially highlight the direct advantages for the consumers and positive impacts of the renewable resource base (e.g. regarding improved properties or functionalities, environmental impact, social impact or ethical considerations) . So when communicating about bio-based products, it seems best to go for one of two options. Option A: informing the consumer that the product is bio-based, and providing information what impacts this has (in comparison to conventional processes). Option B: inform the consumer that the product is better and nice to have, using other arguments while not mentioning bio-based at all.
