A manufacturer claims: since we began using recycled plastic in our packaging, our sales have risen by 15 percent. Customers clearly prefer sustainable packaging.
The argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the ground that it fails to consider that:
- recycled plastic costs more to produce than newly manufactured plastic.
- the rise in sales may have been driven by a nationwide advertising campaign running at the same time.
- the 15 percent figure reflects total units sold rather than total revenue.
- some customers never noticed that the packaging material had changed.
- no customer has ever stated a preference for sustainable packaging.
