Abstract

The main aspect of going eco-friendly is about sustainability. Going eco-friendly also improves our quality of life in terms of mortality, age, diseases etc. Thus the importance for the use of eco-friendly products is bringing into everyone’s mind. These papers uses data from survey, open sources, journal, articles and publications and examine the usage of eco-friendly products by various countries in the world. In depth analyzes is also done to bring out the importance to go for eco-friendly, factors affecting the maximum use, advantages and disadvantages of the eco-friendly products with way forward for the green environment of Bangladesh. The result shows that we need eco-friendly environment due to polluted environment, erosion, healthier lifestyle, sustainability, quality of life and so on. One of the key findings was that when customers had used a certain brand in the past, they were more likely to continue buying that brand, even when the price increased. However the socially responsible activities of a business could promote awareness that green products and recycling of e-waste are important for an environmentally-secure future. The top management commitment and corporate environmental support policies can facilitate eco-friendly product development strategies, while environmental performance incentives do not. In turn, the adoption of such strategies has a positive effect on firms’ product development effectiveness. This effect weakens when business conditions are highly complex but tends to become stronger with increasing levels of munificence in the business environment. These findings have important implications for promoting the eco-friendly products in Bangladesh.
