Green marketing involves promoting products as environmentally friendly. It includes product modifications, changes to production and packaging processes, and adjusting advertising. Green marketing incorporates recycling, efficient products, and environmentally responsible packaging into the marketing mix of product, price, place, and promotion. Many large companies have implemented green marketing strategies for various products to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers and promote sustainability.

2. GREEN MARKETING
• According to the American Marketing Association, green
marketing is the marketing of products that are
presumed to be environmentally safe.[1] Thus green
marketing incorporates a broad range of activities,
including product modification, changes to the production
process, packaging changes, as well as modifying
advertising. Yet defining green marketing is not a simple
task where several meanings intersect and contradict
each other; an example of this will be the existence of
varying social, environmental and retail definitions
attached to this term. Other similar terms used
are Environmental Marketing and Ecological
Marketing

11. Product
The increasingly wide variety of products
on the market that support sustainable
development and are good for the triple
bottom line include:
1. Products made .. from recycled goods,
or that can be recycled or reused.
Ex-McDonald's restaurant's napkins,
bags are made of recycled paper.
2. Efficient products, which save water,
energy or gasoline, save money and
reduce environmental impact.
3. Products with environmentally
responsible packaging.

12. Price
• Price is a critical and important factor of green marketing mix.
Most consumers will only be prepared to pay additional value if
there is a perception of extra product value. This value maybe
improved performance, function, design, visual appeal, or taste.
Green marketing should take all these facts into consideration
while charging a premium price.

13. Place
• The choice of where and when to make a
product available will have significant
impact on the customers. Very few
customers will go out of their way to buy
green products.

14. Promotion
Promoting products and services to target
markets includes paid advertising, public
relations, sales promotions, direct
marketing and on-site promotions
