Therefore, we explore individual and joint facilitators and inhibitors of different forms of sustainable consumption, i.e., green buying, local buying, and environmental saving. Our online surveys conducted with consumers from Australia (n = 3561) and New Zealand (n = 2597) demonstrate that strong environmental attitudes increase green buying, local buying, and environmental savings, albeit to varying extents. Consumers' perceived financial ability is negatively associated with environmental savings and positively with the other forms. Additionally, environmental savings are negatively related to green buying. We identify further managerially relevant facilitators and inhibitors of sustainable consumption. Thus, we contribute to the literature by considering diverse forms of sustainable consumption and their tensions, and exploring the interplay of consumers’ environmental attitudes and perceived (rather than actual) financial ability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100207"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666784324000408/pdfft?md5=3df8189f3fe72f0044dc44eb6aa5536f&pid=1-s2.0-S2666784324000408-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141606311","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}

This aligns with promoting circular economy principles for enhanced sustainability. The circular economy offers a transformative approach to the food industry by promoting environmental health, human well-being, and economic prosperity. This bibliometric analysis examines how circular economy principles can drive sustainability in food businesses, which closely aligning with SDGs 12.3 (food waste reduction), 12.5 (waste reduction), 13.2 (climate policy integration), and 13.3 (climate adaptation). Through a bibliometric analysis of 1000 relevant articles sourced from the Web of Science (spanning from 2005 to 2023), we evaluated the progress, challenges, and opportunities in this field. Utilizing analytical tools such as Biblioshiny (Bibliometrix) package of R-Studio and VOSviewer, the researchers identify key trends and research hotspots through thematic maps, co-occurrence networks, co-citation analysis, keyword analysis, and collaboration networks. This research highlights that the circular economy can transform the food industry by implementing sustainable waste management practices, optimizing supply chains and resource utilization to minimize environmental impact. Furthermore, research findings indicate that adopting circular economy principles in the food industry can significantly reduce waste and enhance resource efficiency by transforming food waste into valuable products such as biogas and bio-based materials. This study provides valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and government officials to improve sustainable food production systems. It enhances understanding in a vital area for guiding future endeavours to promote circular economy strategies for a more sustainable and efficient food industry.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100206"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666784324000391/pdfft?md5=0e267e68eb2af2fbc9351d4a0f9c9e06&pid=1-s2.0-S2666784324000391-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141480056","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}

Due to the low volume and mass customization potential, additive manufacturing (AM) processes have experienced exponential growth in recent years, resulting in heightened ecological consciousness surrounding energy usage. Gaining insight into the energy-intensive sub-systems and sub-processes and identifying strategies for their minimization enables manufacturers to save on energy costs and also aids in reducing their carbon footprint. This study delves into the energy consumption characteristics of the powder bed fusion (PBF) process, particularly selective laser melting (SLM). Through experimental investigation, we investigate how certain factors impact energy usage, namely capacity utilization, layer thickness, and part orientation. We present a novel formulation for estimating primary and total energy consumption in PBF processes, offering a comprehensive energy consumption model. Our results demonstrate significant energy savings with increased capacity utilization—up to a 32.68% reduction in total energy consumption (TEC) per part. Layer thickness variations show the lowest TEC at 25 μm, which can be attributed to the SLM machine's reduced operational time and energy usage of auxiliary components. Furthermore, altering part orientation for the given case study yielded a 50% reduction in TEC, highlighting orientation as a critical factor in energy efficiency. Our formulation, benchmarked against experimental data and specific energy consumption (SEC) values from the literature, effectively captures these parameters' influence on energy usage. The insights from this research advance our understanding of energy dynamics in SLM processes and pave the way for more energy-efficient practices in AM.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100205"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266678432400038X/pdfft?md5=e707a4226fbccad9f65ccc19ff8218e0&pid=1-s2.0-S266678432400038X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141539957","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}

Green curtains are made by growing annual vines, like curtains on a net stretched across a window or wall, and have the effect of reducing room temperature by providing shade. Based on their characteristics, being visible to others and a low implementation rate, we examine the effects of the perceptions and cognitions of the implementation of green curtains in the city (subjective descriptive norm) and the information provided on the trends in green curtain implementation in neighboring districts (objective descriptive norm) on the respondents' willingness to implement. The results show that subjective descriptive norms influence the willingness to implement. Further, the information about neighboring districts with slightly higher green curtain implementation rates is more effective than information about neighboring districts with significantly higher rates. This examination of the comprehensive influence of descriptive norms and the effect of the dynamic and relatively comparative forms of providing descriptive norm information have implications for studies in other fields on promoting prosocial behaviors visible to others and with low implementation rates.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100204"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666784324000378/pdfft?md5=306d14016bad08c6430bf8d73ac8016f&pid=1-s2.0-S2666784324000378-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141479940","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}

We present main research directions in social network theory and highlight the distinction between simple and complex behavioural domains of which food and eating practices are an example of the latter. To illustrate one way in which social network insights can contribute to meat reduction research, we then present results from a questionnaire-based study of Danish consumers. We examine the association between an individual's personal network and reduced meat consumption. In line with assumptions, we show that, for a complex domain such as food and eating practices, exposure from multiple network sources is central to behavioural adoption. However, multiple network exposure is predominantly important for the initial decision to eat less meat. A narrower network of personal contacts become more central during the implementation stage.

Although (basic) knowledge about peat is widespread among hobby gardeners, price is the dominant purchase criterion for substrates; sustainability does not play an important role. Our results suggest that communication campaigns by governments and companies should convey substrate-related messages in those places where gardeners go to seek information, e.g. gardening-related publications. Communication should focus on the functional value of peat-free substrates and not just explain environmental benefits. Lastly, campaigns should target home gardeners rather than urban gardeners and allotment gardeners who rarely buy any substrates but rely on their own production.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100201"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666784324000342/pdfft?md5=50ed6f79d6d41da84693552d66de1479&pid=1-s2.0-S2666784324000342-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141539958","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}
