importance of value as a major roadblock to the adoption of emerald products”.

V. CONCLUSION

Green products that endure longer than plastic or any other product is hazardous to the environment and if the product
lasts longer than plastic, its cost will be significantly higher. Nonetheless, green products are more worthwhile to
purchase, and they are easily disposable, so there is no need to be concerned. Green products promote a sustainable
balance between the two and so contribute to an increase in the use of eco-friendly items. When you go from
conventional to green items, you have to believe that you are helping to save the environment. This also contributes to
the conservation of natural resources such as fuels (coal, diesel, and gasoline, for example). Green items in your daily
life will benefit the environment by reducing pollution, which will have a direct effect on your health and improve it.
Green products not only help your business stand out in a competitive market, but they also help alleviate some of the
pressure human’s places on the environment. The advantages of green products are paralleled in the service business.
For instance, if a hotel proposes that guests refrain from having their sheets and towels laundered daily, this conserves
water and lowers the company's costs. “Green products are described as being environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and
made from biological materials and components that have a positive impact on societal well-being “(Schlegemich et al.,
1996).
