Although interest in green business practices is increasing, existing research addresses related areas such as green consumerism, environmental messaging, or circular economy models in isolation. This review synthesizes findings from 61 peer-reviewed articles across seven key areas: marketing, sustainability, circular economy, consumer trust, sustainable branding, green consumerism, and systematic review methodology. It also evaluates how digital verification technologies, including blockchain and artificial intelligence can promote transparency, minimize greenwashing, and reinforce consumer confidence. The originality of this review lies in its interdisciplinary approach, its contextual focus on under-regulated markets, and its integration of digital tools into the green marketing framework. The findings show that authentic, sustainable branding enhances long-term brand value, while misleading sustainability claims weaken consumer trust. Green consumerism is shaping purchasing behaviors and driving demand for responsible business practices. Circular economy models improve resource efficiency, but face challenges related to scale, infrastructure, and policy in developing regions. This review contributes to theory by linking institutional theory with sustainability transitions and provides practical insights for companies and policymakers seeking to align marketing strategies with ethical and environmental objectives. This review concludes by identifying future research directions, particularly in technology-enabled transparency, regional consumer insights, and the financial viability of circular solutions in emerging markets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100298"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144290714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluates the environmental impacts associated with the construction of the third section of this freeway. Using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), this study evaluates the construction of four distinct spatial pathways of varying lengths, focusing on key environmental impact categories at both the midpoint and endpoint levels. The research emphasizes the construction phase and contributes a method that can be used to develop and analyze construction phase life-cycle inventories. The normalized results indicate that Human Carcinogenic Toxicity is the most significant contributor to environmental impacts across all scenarios, with the Tunnel subproject identified as the dominant source, followed by bridge construction. Machine operation, Portland cement, and electricity emerge as the primary contributors to environmental impact within the tunnel construction process. Among the evaluated scenarios, the S3 scenario stands out as the most sustainable option, exhibiting the lowest overall environmental impact. It achieves a global warming potential of 1,062,439 tons of CO<sub>2</sub> equivalent and a final score of 35.5 MPt. These results emphasize the critical importance of adopting optimized construction strategies to reduce the environmental footprint of transportation infrastructure projects. However, selecting the most appropriate scenario should extend beyond LCA outcomes to include economic, social, and ecological considerations.

Reducing these impacts requires behavioural changes among meat consumers as well as an understanding of consumers' stage of change on their meat reduction journey. The transtheoretical model (TTM) of behaviour change offers the potential to reveal consumer readiness for such changes. This study segmented consumers based on their stages of change (pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation and action) as conceptualised by the TTM and identified these segments' psychographic and demographic characteristics. Data were collected via a nationwide online consumer survey in which flyers with a survey link were sent to households in randomly selected postal codes across Switzerland. Cluster analysis (N = 569) using Ward's method identified four distinct consumer segments: ‘Not willing’, ‘Aware but not ready’, ‘Aware and involved’ and ‘Committed and acting’. ‘Not willing’ consumers appear more likely to be in the pre-contemplation stage of TTM and more sceptical of meat reduction, whereas the ‘Committed and acting’ segment includes meat reducers, who claim to be in the action stage. The ‘Aware but not ready’ are mostly at the ‘contemplation’ or ‘preparation’ stages and ‘Aware and involved’ consumers are at the ‘preparation’ or ‘action’ stages. These two segments are considered the main target groups that are amenable to reducing meat intake. Consumers from these two segments show a greater intention to reduce meat consumption and increase vegetable consumption. Targeted strategies should be developed to guide each consumer segment towards more advanced stages of meat reduction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100295"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144279467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Production chain analysis identified three major contributors to the CF of cassava starch: cultivation, root transport, and starch processing. Cultivation is the primary contributor, accounting for 52 % of the overall CF, followed by electricity consumption associated with the cassava starch production process (33 %), and cassava root transport (8 %). Based on these findings, enhancing the sustainability of the cassava industry requires a multi-faceted approach focusing on four key strategies: the adoption of sustainable cultivation methods, utilization of renewable energy for electricity generation, optimization of root transport logistics, and prioritization of biogas over fuel oil and biomass for heat generation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100293"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144239539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initial brainstorming from industrial and academic experts was used to map the relationship between the variables. Scaled responses of 103 respondents were used to perform statistical validation, CFA, and hypothesis testing. The model fit indices reveal a significant fit.
