                  abstract = {This research focuses on understanding how consumers in Ahmedabad feel about using plastic-free food containers in online food delivery services. As people are becoming more aware of environmental problems and the dangers of single-use plastics, the study aims to find out how much consumers know, what they think, and whether they are willing to switch to sustainable packaging. Data were collected from 161 respondents using a structured questionnaire, and the results were analysed through SPSS. The study found that most people are environmentally aware and recognize the negative effects of plastic packaging. Many respondents showed a positive attitude toward plastic-free containers, believing that they can help reduce pollution. Over half of the participants also said they would be ready to pay a little extra for eco-friendly packaging. A Cronbach’s Alpha score of 0.937 indicated that the questionnaire used in the study was highly reliable. The chi-square test results revealed a significant link between age and environmental awareness, showing that younger consumers tend to be more sustainability-minded. However, factors like convenience, hygiene, and price also affected their purchase decisions. Overall, the study suggests that increasing awareness, keeping packaging affordable, and offering incentives can motivate more consumers to choose plastic-free options. It highlights the rising importance of sustainability in consumer behavior and encourages both delivery platforms and policymakers to work together to make food delivery more environmentally friendly.},
