In the present times, we largely talk about Extended Producer's Responsibility, Sustainable product, green product etc and hence all these terms affect our choice of buying products also. It has happened with me many times that I go for the products that are more eco friendly. Recently when I went to buy an Air conditioner for myself, I ensured that it was throwing less green house gas than others. Hence, I bought it with 5 star rating and highest energy efficiency. Such types of A.C are produced by Samsung, Voltas only and hence I went especially to their store for this. The information for such products is provided by the companies only but they are scientific and trustworthy and hence we can trust their facts.
