contents <p>This study examines the adoption of eco-friendly packaging solutions for medicinal herbs in Senegalese herbal markets to assess consumer acceptance and the potential for waste reduction. Qualitative research methods were employed, including semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions among herbal market vendors and consumers to gather insights into their perceptions and experiences with new packaging solutions. Findings indicate that over 70% of respondents found the eco-friendly packaging appealing and preferred it compared to traditional options. Consumers also expressed significant interest in reducing plastic waste, highlighting a willingness to adopt sustainable practices. The study concludes that there is substantial potential for promoting eco-friendly packaging solutions in Senegalese herbal markets, with consumer acceptance as a key driver of adoption. Recommendations include the development and promotion of eco-friendly packaging options tailored to meet consumer preferences, alongside incentives or policies aimed at encouraging sustainable practices.</p>
