Green marketing is the result of 21st century marketing, which created conditions for the formation of specific markets and the fight against environmental problems, green product development trends. Green marketing reflects an approach to the development of organic products and the creation of new organic ones, which are beneficial not only to the environment, consumers, but also to the company itself, as it brings more profit in the long term, as the interest in organic products increases every year.
