Two field experiments are conducted to reveal the dynamics and mechanisms of children's influence on their parents' environmentally friendly behaviour. The result of Study I (Number of experimental group = 320, Number of control group = 314) suggests that trans-education within the family, initiated by children who have received education on green and low-carbon, fosters enhanced green consumption behaviour among their parents. Expanding upon this insight, Study II (Number of experimental group = 1588) elucidates that the transformation in parents' behaviour is not immediate but rather follows a “push” mechanism. Specifically, trans-education stimulates moral elevation in parents, eliciting positive moral motion and a heightened proclivity towards green and low-carbon actions. Moreover, trans-education not only directly inspires parents to cultivate more personal norms related to green and low-carbon, but also reinforces parents' personal norms by further bolstering their moral elevation, ultimately translating into concrete green and low-carbon actions. Notably, the attribution of parental responsibility moderates the impact of trans-education on green consumption behaviour. Parents who hold a high sense of parental responsibility not only assimilate cross-generational education more effectively but also excel at transforming these notions into tangible green consumption behaviour.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"55 ","pages":"Pages 257-267"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143520732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) can aid the technology development by evaluating the sustainability implications between increased treatment and resource recovery and reuse. This study applies LCSA to four case studies involving innovative brine treatment and recovery systems: a demineralised water plant, a coal mine, textile plant and a silica plant. The results demonstrate potentially significant environmental and economic benefits of the Zero Brine systems compared to the reference systems. Climate change is lower for the Zero Brine systems in 3 of the 4 cases, reducing from: 3.0 to 2.5 CO<sub>2</sub> eq/m<sup>3</sup> for the demineralised water plant, 18.6 to 10.7 CO<sub>2</sub> eq/m<sup>3</sup> for the coal mine and 0.29 to −4.7 CO<sub>2</sub> eq/m<sup>3</sup> for the silica plant (the negative value representing a credit due to recovered materials replacing virgin ones). This represents reductions in climate change of between 13 % to 1690 %. Other impacts of the Zero Brine systems were lower for the coal mine and silica plant, but higher for the DWP and textile plant (apart from resource depletion). Life Cycle Costing shows an increase of 45 % and 352 % in costs for the silica and demineralised water plant plants respectively, but a decrease of 14 % and 93 % in costs for the coal mine and textile plant respectively. The main social benefit is shown to be reductions in water use, which was reduced by up to 90 % in the silica plant case study. Other social indicators indicate minimal change, as many consumables in both systems are derived from European production. The study demonstrates that the benefits of Zero Brine systems depend on the recoverable sustainability “value” of the brine's constituents and whether they offset the increased consumption of energy and chemicals. The utilised LCSA approach of minimising the number of indicators and avoiding aggregation, helps to maintain transparency and interpretability, whilst streamlining the process and aiding communication and visibility. Further study should investigate the marketability of the recovered products, associated processing and distribution impacts, and verify the impacts of full-scale plants.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"55 ","pages":"Pages 312-327"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143563057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the economic impact of double Fairtrade and Organic certifications on smallholder coffee farmers in Ethiopia, a major coffee-producing country where these certifications are widely adopted. The analysis is based on survey data collected from certified and noncertified smallholder coffee producers using a multistage random sampling approach. To ensure the robustness of the findings, the study employs Propensity Score Matching (PSM), Endogenous Treatment Regression (ETR), and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) methods. The results across all estimation techniques consistently reveal that certified farmers experience significant increases in coffee yield, price, and dividends from coffee sales, despite an associated rise in total production costs. By incorporating cooperative performance as a control variable to account for potential confounding effects of cooperative characteristics, the estimated treatment effects were slightly moderated; however, the positive impact of VSS certification remained statistically significant. These findings suggest that VSS certifications contribute to improving the livelihoods of smallholder coffee farmers, although challenges persist in optimizing the cost-effectiveness of compliance. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of considering local contexts and institutional heterogeneity to fully understand the broader impact of VSS and maximize their benefits for smallholder coffee producers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"55 ","pages":"Pages 268-284"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143520733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The review synthesizes findings from various LCA studies, revealing substantial variability in life cycle efficiency and environmental impacts across different DACCS systems. Solid sorbent technologies demonstrate average net greenhouse gas reductions of 640 kg CO₂-eq/t CO₂, while liquid sorbent systems achieve reductions of about 560 kg CO₂-eq/t CO₂, with system carbon efficiencies ranging between 56 % and 64 %, influenced by operational conditions and regional factors. Beyond climate impacts, DACCS systems exhibit significant resource demands: water consumption ranges from 1 to 12 tons per ton of CO<sub>2</sub> captured, and land use spans 85–4450 km<sup>2</sup> based on system configuration and renewable energy requirements. For gigaton-scale facilities, significant environmental trade-offs emerge, including substantial particulate matter emissions (170–180 kt annually) and varying impacts on marine eutrophication (up to 90 % higher for amine-based systems compared to hydroxide-based alternatives). Low-temperature DAC systems exhibit higher human toxicity and ecotoxicity impacts due to increased electricity demands, while metal resource depletion varies significantly based on system design and energy sources. This study highlights the critical need for standardized LCAs and transparent reporting practices to enable consistent comparisons between technologies.

However, this results in trade-offs as some aspects of higher welfare systems reduce production efficiency and thus increase greenhouse gas emissions. These trade-offs have however rarely been studied. This study aims to further the understanding by comparing the impact of reducing stocking density and switching to slower-growing broiler hybrids on broiler welfare and greenhouse gas emissions. Impacts on broiler welfare were determined by synthesizing quantitative welfare indicators from recent studies which assessed the welfare of broilers at different stocking densities and/or growth rates. The impact on greenhouse gas emissions from introducing these changes were modelled for chicken meat produced in Swedish broiler systems. Then, the magnitude of trade-offs associated with a reduced stocking density and/or use of slower-growing broilers were determined based on how these impacted broiler welfare and greenhouse gas emissions. The largest trade-offs were found when using slower-growing hybrids, since while this increased broiler welfare considerably, it also increased greenhouse gas emissions. The magnitude of the trade-offs was largely dependent on the growth rate of the slower-growing hybrid. Slower growth rates increased feed intake, and hence greenhouse gas emissions, but increased greenhouse gas emissions were partly offset by reduced emissions from parent animals. Trade-offs were smaller when reducing the stocking density in broiler houses, due to a moderate improvement of welfare but only a slight impact on greenhouse gas emissions. This study highlights the existing tensions between improving broiler welfare and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions and the need for tools to navigate these trade-offs. However, as greenhouse gas emissions from broiler production remain considerably lower than those of other livestock when higher welfare methods are used, we question whether minimizing greenhouse gas emissions should be a priority when conflicting with improving broiler and breeder welfare.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"55 ","pages":"Pages 203-216"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143488482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
