Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), as key players within supply chains, should also be encouraged to apply the lean and green practices to support the large enterprises in the supply chain. However, it remains all time challenging for SMEs that operate with limited resources, and often emphasize on short-term goals with rapid turnaround. The impact of green-lean practices on sustainability performance has been investigated earlier, however further study is needed to understand the phenomena in context of SME supply chain. This study examined the moderating effects of top management commitment and leadership (TMCL) and organizational culture transformation (OCTr) on the relationship between Lean Practice (LP) and Green Practice (GP). Further, it investigated the moderating effect of both policy initiative (PI) and collaborative synergy (CS) on the relationship between GP and sustainability performance. The survey-based study analyzed the data from 345 Indonesian manufacturing SMEs using structural equation modeling (SEM) with Smart-PLS. The findings suggest that GP mediates LP to improve sustainability performance of SMEs. TMCL facilitates significantly the adoption of integrated lean and green practices. Meanwhile, OCTr, PI, and CS did not have a significant moderating effect. It means that OCTr does not significantly moderate lean practices for the adoption of green practice. Similarly, results demonstrate that neither PI nor CS moderate the correlation between green practice and sustainability performance of supply chain in manufacturing SMEs. The findings help SME owners or managers to build a comprehensive model of a lean-green system to direct SMEs to achieve sustainable development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266678432300044X/pdfft?md5=73bf16974e22148a3b601e3be9162523&pid=1-s2.0-S266678432300044X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92061917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nordic countries are showing high engagement to climate change mitigation while the consumption and lifestyle-based carbon footprints are among the global highest. Majority of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are connected to household consumption where various behavioral changes have been presented in order to reduce the personal carbon footprints. Previous research has shown how behaviors are connected to the living environment and urban structure, which have shown having an impact in forming variations in our lifestyles and behavioral patterns. In this study, with a survey dataset of ∼8000 respondents across the five Nordic countries, the engagement of respondents to different climate and carbon mitigation actions were analyzed and linked to their calculated carbon footprints. Three types of behavioral clusters were found among the respondents, one presenting conscious pro-climate behavior, one relating to frugality behavior, and one cluster related to self-sufficient behavior. The pro-climate behavioral intentions were present more in urbanized areas together with high climate motivation, whereas frugality behavior was level across the urban gradient, and finally respondents from less urbanized areas emphasized self-sufficient behavior. The stated behavioral intentions of the respondents were in contrast to their carbon footprints. Carbon footprints related to leisure consumption were highest in the urban regions and everyday consumption related footprints in the rural regions. Interestingly, only frugality behavior was associated with lower carbon footprints both in everyday and leisure consumption categories, whereas climate conscious behavior was positively related to leisure consumption footprint but negatively related to everyday consumption. The findings emphasize the variation of lifestyles based on different actions in different urban forms where the engagement to climate change mitigation presents differently. The results underline the importance of understanding the role that the built environment plays in being linked to the behavioral patterns and the need to increase the knowledge of the climate impacts of behavioral choices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50179800","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}

Using data from households in the United Kingdom, three bundles of motivation (<em>saving, environmental considerations</em> and <em>emotions</em>) and management practices (<em>plan, inspect</em> and <em>proactive</em>) are elicited. The results show that the single predominant management practice is “inspect” while “environmental considerations” was the most common motivation. We find evidence that different motivation bundles, as well as management bundles are used in a complementary manner. The results show that of the three management bundles, being proactive is more likely to result in reducing food waste. On the other hand, considerations for the environment and negative emotion that arise after food is wasted increases the desire to reduce waste. This study highlights the interdependent nature of motivations and practices and could guide public policy and awareness campaigns for more targeted and effective waste reduction strategies. Targeted public awareness campaigns emphasising the environmental impact of food waste and educational programs integrated into existing initiatives could effectively reduce household food waste in the UK.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50179799","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 improvement in living standards, especially in developed countries, accompanied by the emergence of Fast fashion, has led to an exaggerated increase in the consumption of clothing products. This increase has a growing impact on the environment, not only in soil erosion and water consumption, due to the production of fibers such as cotton, linen, and others, but also due to the use of chemical products in the manufacturing processes of these products. The increase in consumption and the reduction in the useful lifetime of garments has led to a large increase in textile waste, which often ends up in undifferentiated garbage. One of the ways to mitigate the problem is to embark on the circular economy. This requires the involvement of all actors in the value chain, including especially the end-consumer, as this is the main responsible for closing the cycle of the economy, by sending end-of-life textile products for recycling. In this article, a systematic review on digital solutions for involving the end-consumer in the circular economy of the Textile and Clothing value chain is made, not only in closing the cycle, sending end-of-life textile products for recycling, but also in extending the useful lifetime of their garments, and in the implementation of good practices in use, maintenance and disposal of their garments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50179801","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}

To identify the influential factors in purchasing cruelty-free products, we expand the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and employ structural equation modelling (SEM) for analysis. Our findings show that attitude, perceived behavioural control, and subjective norms positively influence the intention to buy cruelty-free products. Moreover, we also observe that hedonism, environmental values, and knowledge play significant roles in shaping attitudes towards cruelty-free purchase intentions. In contrast to previous studies, health and social value do not significantly influence the purchase intentions of cruelty-free products.

An RCT was conducted with a representative sample of the Dutch population (<em>N</em> = 1213). In an online store setting, participants selected a product and completed the check-out process – selecting between more and less sustainable delivery options. Their selection had real consequences as the gift would be delivered with the selected delivery method. Four different nudging conditions were contrasted: a default nudge, in which the most sustainable option (i.e., delivery to pick-up point) was selected automatically, and three decision-information nudges, in which CO2 emissions for the delivery options was displayed. The decision-information nudges varied in complexity, from high complexity (emissions in grams of CO2 for each delivery option) to medium (percentage of CO2 reduction for the most sustainable option) and low complexity (a green leaf next to the most sustainable option). Relative to control, the default nudge was the most effective at steering participants towards the most sustainable delivery choice, followed by the medium- and low-informational nudging conditions. In addition, instead of steering them towards the most sustainable delivery option, the high-informational nudge appeared to steer participants away from the two most polluting delivery options – thereby potentially saving more greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) than the other conditions.
