Using survey data from 786 consumers in Portugal and Turkey, with H&M Conscious Choice as the focal reference, we estimate a structural model in which environmental concern (EC) and brand image (BI) shape attitude (AT) both directly and indirectly through brand-extension fit (BEF). Results show that EC has a positive but small direct association with AT, while its indirect effect via BEF is also significant, indicating that value-based dispositions become consequential when the sustainability initiative is perceived as a credible and logical extension of the parent brand. BI exerts a substantive direct influence on AT and a statistically reliable but modest influence on BEF; BEF itself positively predicts AT and transmits part of EC's and BI's effects. The model explains <em>R</em><sup><em>2</em></sup> ≈ 0.742 of BEF and <em>R</em><sup><em>2</em></sup> ≈ 0.476 of AT, supporting the explanatory adequacy of the integrated framework. A multi-group analysis suggests context-sensitive differences between Portugal and Turkey, which we interpret in light of policy-normalization (Portugal) versus crisis-salience (Turkey); given partial measurement invariance, these contrasts are framed as cautious tendencies. Overall, findings underscore fit as the mechanism through which consumers synthesize values and brand heuristics, clarifying why strong brand image alone does not guarantee perceived sustainability congruence in fast-fashion contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"21 ","pages":"Article 100402"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146189469","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}

Focusing on high-priority strategies within the EU's waste hierarchy, waste prevention and reuse, we examine two behaviours that reduce reliance on single-use diapers: earlier toilet training and reusable diaper use. We identified behavioural patterning, influencing factors and support for interventions using a mixed-methods study of UK parents (surveys: n = 624; interviews: n = 35), underpinned by behavioural science frameworks (COM-B model, Behaviour Change Wheel). Reusable diapering remains a minority practice, with few users using them exclusively (10% of reusable users) and most combining with disposable diapers. Reusable diaper use was associated with earlier toilet training (<em>χ</em><sup><em>2</em></sup>(1, N = 322) = 4.05, <em>p</em> = .044). While parents intend to begin toilet training by 30 months, our findings show that completion often occurs significantly later, highlighting a gap between intended and actual timelines (<em>χ</em><sup><em>2</em></sup>(18, N = 624) = 72.80, <em>p</em> < .001). Barriers and enablers to both behaviours were identified across Capability (e.g., laundry demands, identifying readiness), Opportunity (e.g., product access, childcare support), and Motivation (e.g., environmental values, competing priorities). Recommended interventions include expert-led training, public awareness campaigns, reusable diaper provision and laundering schemes, and flexible work policies. Regulatory measures (e.g., diaper taxes, nursery admission policies) were less favoured. Creating supportive, resource-rich settings at key parenting stages, such as ante- and postnatal periods and early toddlerhood, can empower parents to adopt reusable diapers and earlier toilet training, aligning caregiving with broader sustainability goals of reducing plastic waste.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"21 ","pages":"Article 100400"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146189471","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 panel data on Chinese listed manufacturing firms from 2013 to 2021 and constructing patent co-application–based digital collaboration networks, we test the hypotheses with fixed-effects and instrumental-variable models. To mitigate endogeneity, DINE is instrumented by industry–province peer embedding (excluding the focal firm) and province-by-year fixed effects are absorbed to account for time-varying regional policy and institutional shocks. The results show that DINE significantly improves SGI, while KRC and KRR jointly mediate this relationship, explaining 37.5 % of the total effect. Robustness checks and endogeneity corrections support the validity of the findings. Moreover, the DINE–SGI linkage is stronger in technology-intensive industries, highlighting contextual contingencies in digital–green synergies.

Although timber is widely recognized as a low-carbon material within circular bioeconomy frameworks, its adoption in housing remains limited, and the alignment between housing demand, timber supply, and consumer acceptance is poorly understood. This study aims to quantify national timber demand associated with housing development in Indonesia, assess whether current timber supply can meet this demand, and evaluate the viability of regional supply–demand balance models when consumer preferences are incorporated. The novelty of this study lies in providing the first national-scale estimation of housing-related timber demand evaluated against regional production capacity, demonstrating how the incorporation of consumer preferences reshapes regional feasibility outcomes, and distilling a transferable analytical framework for assessing timber substitution in housing across emerging economy contexts. A mixed-method approach integrates an empirical database of 389 housing layouts, an online consumer preference survey (n = 214), and secondary data on housing needs and timber production to develop and evaluate multiple Model of Supply-Demand (MSD). The results indicate that MSD under timber supply consistently provides reliable strategies, highlighting the need for national regulations to focus on maximizing the absorption of currently available materials. Further regional analysis was conducted and shows the need to adapt regulations to local conditions to optimize strategies. Sensitivity analysis confirms that these strategic insights remain robust under varying market conditions. The study provides a policy-relevant and transferable framework to support low-carbon, timber-based housing transitions in Indonesia and comparable emerging economies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"21 ","pages":"Article 100381"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145979287","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}

No Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been conducted in Germany, and only a few studies have been carried out in Europe to identify the impacts and improvement potentials of CSA. A Holistic and Integrated Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (HILCSA) was applied to a CSA in Leipzig, Germany, offering a novel integrative approach to analyze CSA benefits and impacts compared to a conventional reference in all three sustainability dimensions. Seven different fruits and vegetables produced by the CSA and distributed to schools in Leipzig were assessed. Based on 82 indicators, the results showed that CSA has 63 % fewer sustainability risks compared to the conventional German food market. All substitution factors of impacts aggregated to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were below 1.0, indicating a positive contribution by the CSA. Additionally, replacing conventional supply with supply from the CSA to 200 pupils can avoid 1 ton of CO<sub>2</sub> equivalents over one school year. Resource efficiency emerged as a key area for improvement, as the CSA had significantly lower yields than conventional production. However, it had similar water, land, and energy uses per hectare.
