We built an original dataset of new registrations of electric commercial vehicles and electric light commercial vehicles from 2001 to 2019 in the United Kingdom. We use Poisson fixed effects models for our panel data of 760 observations. Our results show that direct and indirect financial incentives and informational and convenience policies positively impact adoption with direct financial incentives having the largest impact. Consistent and comprehensive mixes also positively influence the adoption of both vehicle types. Our results imply that upfront cost reductions are most important for firms and that financial incentives should be combined with policies that overcome knowledge and operational barriers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100304"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144569925","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}

Effective ISW utilization was noted to be not only vital for ecological sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also for achieving substantial cost and resource savings, contributing to a circular economy. This review study examined industrial byproducts from various sectors, such as steel and metal production, silicon and ferrosilicon manufacturing processes, agriculture and biomass industries, coal combustion and incineration in power plants, construction, textile and plastic production, and renewable energy industries. Each byproduct was systematically assessed in terms of its contribution to waste generation and the strategies available to minimize its environmental impacts. Special emphasis was placed on the reuse and repurpose of ISWs, especially for their integration into the construction industry, where they can be transformed into valuable raw materials. The effects of these byproducts on the main properties of the most common construction materials, such as concrete, asphalt, fillers, aggregates, and fibers, were studied in detail. The study also examined the ISW management hierarchy and its role in enhancing landfill disposal techniques. This comprehensive review led to original insights to address various aspects of ISW utilization, with a particular focus on their sustainable repurposing for civil infrastructure applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100310"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144863974","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}

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":"2025-09-01","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 examines how household socioeconomic factors differentially drive the water footprint embedded in food wasted, and how these impacts vary across food categories. To do so, we combine detailed data on food waste quantities of representative Spanish households for the period 2018–2022 with data on unitary water footprint of consumption, in order to calculate the volume of virtual water embedded in food discarded by households. We then employ a pooled regression approach to estimate the socioeconomic characteristics influencing it, analysing differences across food categories and testing how the impact of household characteristics varies by categories. Our results reveal that higher socioeconomic status and larger households significantly increase the water footprint of food waste, while the age of the main shopper and the presence of children are associated with a reduction. Moreover, our findings show that the water footprint of vegetables and other foods categories is more sensitive to socioeconomic status, while the water footprint of meat and dairy categories shows a stronger effect driven by age and household size. These insights offer policymakers valuable guidance for the design of tailored policies for specific groups to reduce the water usage, focusing not only on those products with a higher waste level, but also with a higher water footprint.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100314"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144828162","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}

The specifics of hybrid S-RET adoption processes and the related information acquisition processes have not been covered by previous research. We explore this through an in-depth interview study with 56 Finnish detached house owners with hybrid solutions. We find that hybrid S-RET adoption differs importantly from one-time single S-RET adoption as it involves an ongoing learning process to learn and install multiple technologies in conjunction to each other. During this process, adopters use a wide range of information sources out of which peer provided information is regarded the most often used (53/56) as well as being the most important source due to its practical and contextualized nature. Supplier and government provided information sources and energy counseling services are regarded as less useful and consulted less often, which undermines the central role which literature on single S-RET adoption gives to energy counseling.
