As sustainability becomes a global priority, eco-friendly packaging is appearing as a key factor influencing consumer purchase decisions. This study explores the drivers of consumer purchase intent for products with eco-friendly packaging, focusing on environmental awareness, perceived value, brand reputation, and emotional appeal. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines surveys and interviews with diverse consumer groups to find underlying motivators. Additionally, demographic factors, such as age, income, significantly affect purchase intent. The study highlights the importance of transparent communication and innovative packaging design in fostering positive consumer perceptions. These insights provide actionable strategies for businesses to enhance their market appeal and contribute to sustainable consumption patterns. This study illustrates the growing importance of sustainable consumption by examining the factors that affect consumers' willingness to buy products with eco-friendly packaging. Social influence, perceived quality, and environmental awareness are all significant factors influencing purchase intent. Based on the result of the study collected and interpreted in the respondents’ profile – age and residency. A significant number of respondents are Male, and ages fall between 18 to 22 years old, and all of them reside in Quezon City, Philippines. They found out that most of the respondents strongly agree that when eco-friendly products have packaging with materials that satisfy their quality standards, they were willing to purchase them. Furthermore, it is recommended that even though price sensitivity is still a consideration, many buyers are prepared to pay more for goods they believe to be of higher quality or produced ethically, especially when the advantages to the environment are obvious.
