Consumer goods makers and retailers investing in sustainably made products after years of shopper outcry, say they face an uphill struggle convincing people to switch when those products cost more or look inferior.

I don’t care what material, manufacturing process or energy source you use. If everything you make is designed to be discarded after a set period of time, you are going to have problems.
