The research investigates whether choice of goods in the packaging, which can be
reused, depends on age of consumers. The calculated value of the criterion
2
constitutes 6,78, that is confirmed by existence of a relation between age of respondents
and choice of goods in the packaging, which can be reused. According to the Figure 8,
the older people are, the more they consider reuse of food products packaging.

To study the relation between choice of goods in the packaging, which can be
reused, and consumers with different income, it is necessary to determine
2
, which
constitutes 1,63, that is much less than
2
кр
. It means that change of respondents’
income does not make much impact on change of their behavior concerning food
products in the packaging, which can be reused. Particularly, the maximum value
(25,9%) is observed in the group of respondents with income of 2000-5000 UAH, and
a minimum one (24,1%) – for people with income up to 2000 UAH.
Results of the investigation concerning impact of respondents’ sex on choice of
goods in the packaging, which can be reused, are demonstrated at the Figure 9.
Value of the criterion
2
is equal to 9,66, that confirms the hypothesis that women
are more focused on choice of goods in the packaging, which can be reused. Among
the total number of respondent, 29,8% of women consider reuse, and only 17,5% of
asked men pay attention to the aspect.
