Why do they make two products - gregjp16 - 01-17-2020

So I just saw a commercial for zip-lock bags that are made of less plastic and using wind energyThere is also a Reynolds wrap aluminum foil that is also more greenMy question is if both the quot;greenerquot; product and the original are of equal quality why do they make bothThis also goes for the cleanersI think that if we really want to make a change for a better earth that companies if they find a greener better way to make the product then they should just sell the quot;greenerquot; productOther wise you give people a choice and they will think that the quot;greenerquot; product is not as goodSo the question is if they are equal why make both?Thats a great question and I never really thought about itThe green products are more expensive - i don\'t know if it costs more to make them or not, but if based on volume, they probably sell less of the green, thus making the price higherBut, I could be wrongIf the green product does cost more, then they are offering both products in order to stay competitive with other manufacturers, while at the same time offering you a choice.Other related question
