Fashion consumption seems predestined for disenchantment, demarcated by low utilization levels and a consumption cycle that is too short to foster emotional attachment. To be sure, what occurs after purchase when clothing is taken home for use is a carbon intensive phase of the product's lifespan that is squarely within the clothing user's control and responsibility. Decreasing the purchase of new garments has the greatest potential to reduce the global carbon emissions associated with fashion consumption, and prolonging clothing's utilization are consumer habits considered critical to this aim. Clothing use, manifest in the wear, care, and repair practice, are a linchpin in determining how much and how quickly fashion becomes waste. Though these use behaviors clearly advance sustainable clothing consumption, the least is known about what occurs between purchase and disposal or why. It is also important to develop a method to measure sustainable use practice and explore the influence of personal factors that determine engagement in such. This research study examined how personal factors (including fashion trend sensitivity, style orientation, frugality) influence sustainable clothing use practices (wear, care, and repair). A quantitative questionnaire was administered online to a representative sample of 420 U.S. consumers. A multi-level path analysis was used to test a proposed model. The results indicate that fashion trend sensitivity, style orientation, and frugality positively influence sustainable clothing use practices. Further, findings reveal that these personal factors explain 80% of the variance in sustainable clothing use, highlighting the critical role of use practice in shaping sustainable clothing behavior.

时尚消费似乎注定会让人失望，其特点是利用率低，消费周期太短，无法产生情感依恋。可以肯定的是，服装购买后被带回家使用是产品生命周期中的一个碳密集阶段，这完全在服装使用者的控制和责任范围之内。减少购买新服装最有可能减少与时尚消费相关的全球碳排放，而延长服装的使用时间则是实现这一目标的关键消费习惯。服装的使用，包括穿着、护理和维修，是决定时尚成为废物的程度和速度的关键。尽管这些使用行为明显促进了服装的可持续消费，但人们对从购买到废弃之间的过程或原因却知之甚少。同样重要的是，要开发一种方法来衡量可持续使用行为，并探索决定参与可持续使用行为的个人因素的影响。本研究探讨了个人因素（包括对时尚潮流的敏感度、风格取向、节俭）如何影响可持续服装使用实践（穿着、保养和维修）。研究人员对 420 名美国消费者进行了在线定量问卷调查。研究采用多层次路径分析对所提出的模型进行了检验。结果表明，时尚潮流敏感度、风格取向和节俭对可持续服装使用行为有积极影响。此外，研究结果表明，这些个人因素解释了可持续服装使用中 80% 的差异，突出了使用实践在塑造可持续服装行为中的关键作用。

Green public procurement in construction: A systematic review 建筑业的绿色公共采购：系统回顾

IF 3.7 Q2 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES

Cleaner and Responsible Consumption

Pub Date : 2024-10-16 DOI: 10.1016/j.clrc.2024.100234

Green Public Procurement (GPP) is an increasingly important environmental policy being incorporated with national action plans (NAP) across the European Union (EU). The aim of this paper is to look at related literature in the construction industry with a goal of identifying any gaps in literature. In addition, the review defines different facilitator and barriers to implementing GPP in the construction field. The paper employs a relatively unique approach using a theoretical framework to explore a wider set of variables within the GPP field. All papers from year 2000 onwards in English were considered for the review. The review finds a lack of emphasis on systems modelling within the reviewed paper set and a need for more diverse economic evaluation metrics that incorporate social and environmental costs. Furthermore, the paper discusses broad range of subjects varying from behaviour to tendering procedure, highlighting potential avenues of future research.

绿色公共采购 (GPP) 是一项日益重要的环境政策，已被纳入整个欧盟 (EU) 的国家行动计划 (NAP)。本文旨在研究建筑行业的相关文献，以找出文献中的空白。此外，本综述还界定了在建筑领域实施 GPP 的不同促进因素和障碍。本文采用了一种相对独特的方法，利用一个理论框架来探讨 GPP 领域中的一系列变量。所有 2000 年以后的英文论文都在审查之列。综述发现，被综述的论文集缺乏对系统建模的重视，需要更多样化的经济评估指标，将社会和环境成本纳入其中。此外，论文还讨论了从行为到招标程序等广泛的主题，强调了未来研究的潜在途径。

Given the systemic nature of the circular economy (CE), its successful implementation necessitates a holistic approach involving all the relevant stakeholders across the production and consumption processes. This study focuses on the gap between the demand and supply of circularity by investigating transitioning profiles of consumers and manufacturing companies and examining their symbiotic roles in shaping a systemic circular transition. Using two extensive surveys involving 1000 consumers and 1443 manufacturing companies in Italy, and employing a cluster analysis methodology, we examined pro-environmental purchasing profiles among consumers and varying levels of circular practice integration among companies. The cluster analysis reveals four different consumer cluster based on their attitudes towards CE during the purchasing and post-purchasing phases. While the majority focused only on a single purchasing aspect, approximately one-third consistently optimized, preserved, and enhanced product value throughout the purchase phase and post-purchase use. Conversely, companies were grouped into five clusters according to their varying levels of circularity integration across the product life cycle. Only a small subset of companies fully embraced circularity throughout their entire product life cycle, with most concentrating their efforts on specific phases of the value chain. The findings highlight a significant gap between circular demand and supply: while the biggest cluster of companies comprises linear manufacturers, linear consumers represent the smallest segments. This underscores the need for comprehensive engagement from both manufacturers and consumers in shaping circular production and consumption. Based on a stakeholder perspective, the study opens up a discussion on how to bridge this gap, emphasizing the role of consumers with pro-circular behaviors in pushing companies to integrate circularity principles more thoroughly, and the role of companies in raising the awareness of linear consumers about the impact of their purchasing choices. By profiling circular companies and consumers and unveiling their behavioral tendencies, this research provides actionable insights for policymakers and managers navigating the circular transition.

鉴于循环经济（CE）的系统性，其成功实施需要一种涉及整个生产和消费过程中所有相关利益方的整体方法。本研究通过调查消费者和制造企业的转型概况，重点关注循环需求和供应之间的差距，并研究他们在形成系统性循环转型中的共生作用。通过对意大利的 1000 名消费者和 1443 家制造企业进行两次广泛调查，并采用聚类分析方法，我们研究了消费者的环保采购概况和企业的不同循环实践整合水平。聚类分析根据消费者在购买和购买后阶段对消费环保的态度，揭示了四个不同的消费者聚类。虽然大多数消费者只关注单一的购买方面，但约有三分之一的消费者在整个购买阶段和购买后的使用过程中始终坚持优化、保护和提高产品价值。相反，根据企业在整个产品生命周期中不同程度的循环整合，企业被分为五个组别。只有一小部分公司在其整个产品生命周期中完全接受了循环性，大多数公司将其努力集中在价值链的特定阶段。研究结果凸显了循环需求与供应之间的巨大差距：最大的企业集群由线性制造商组成，而线性消费者则占最小的部分。这凸显了生产商和消费者全面参与塑造循环型生产和消费的必要性。基于利益相关者的视角，本研究就如何缩小这一差距展开了讨论，强调了支持循环行为的消费者在推动企业更全面地融入循环原则方面的作用，以及企业在提高线性消费者对其购买选择的影响的认识方面的作用。通过对循环型企业和消费者进行剖析，揭示他们的行为倾向，这项研究为政策制定者和管理者在循环转型过程中提供了可操作的见解。

How to promote mobile phone recovery? Evaluation of a collection campaign in Belgian schools 如何促进手机回收？比利时学校回收活动评估

IF 3.7 Q2 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES

Cleaner and Responsible Consumption

Pub Date : 2024-10-09 DOI: 10.1016/j.clrc.2024.100231

Mobile phone recycling is crucial to recover valuable resources and mitigate environmental health risks. Collection campaigns may help to retrieve unused phones, but empirical evidence on the factors contributing to the effectiveness of such campaigns is rare. In the present study, we assessed how one and the same collection campaign was implemented in N = 124 Belgian schools with over 30,000 students and related between-school variations in implementation characteristics to the number of collected phones (8,931 in total). More phones were collected in schools that assigned a higher priority to the collection campaign (r_s = .42) and in schools that reported a higher degree of teacher involvement (r_s = .36). All schools also received collection-contingent rewards and we randomly offered some schools the opportunity to donate this reward, but this manipulation did not lead to significant between-school differences. These results support the effectiveness of the evaluated collection campaign and can inform the design of future efforts to collect unused mobile phones.

手机回收对于回收宝贵资源和降低环境健康风险至关重要。回收活动可能有助于回收未使用的手机，但有关此类活动有效性因素的实证证据并不多见。在本研究中，我们评估了在拥有 30,000 多名学生的 N = 124 所比利时学校中如何实施一项相同的收集活动，并将学校之间的实施特点差异与收集的手机数量（共 8,931 部）联系起来。在对收集活动给予更高的优先级（rs = 0.42）和教师参与度更高（rs = 0.36）的学校中，收集到的电话数量更多。所有学校也都收到了有收集条件的奖励，我们还随机为一些学校提供了捐赠奖励的机会，但这一操作并未导致校际间的显著差异。这些结果证明了评估收集活动的有效性，并为今后收集闲置手机的设计提供了参考。

The growing trend of decluttering has spurred many consumers to streamline their wardrobes by removing excess garments. However, garment decluttering has not received much attention in the academic research. This study employs a mixed methods approach to explore how reflective garment decluttering can be related to sufficient clothing consumption by investigating 1) consumers’ motivations to declutter and the methods used, 2) the influence of reflective decluttering on consumers' perceptions of their clothing items and consumption habits, and 3) the impact of reflective decluttering on long-term clothing acquisition and strategies for maintaining sufficient clothing consumption. Qualitative analysis reveals that motivations for decluttering include reducing garment over-ownership, creating space, and finding emotional relief. Participants gained insights into the value of their garments, their reasons for possession, and their consumption habits, helping them establish future consumption goals. Quantitative findings from a longitudinal survey add to the qualitative insights by showing that reflective decluttering was associated with reduced clothing acquisition, although a slight rebound occurred after six months. The qualitative findings also reveal strategies including conscious shopping and extending garment life cycles that reduce consumption levels and promote sufficiency-oriented practices over time.

日益增长的衣物整理趋势促使许多消费者通过去除多余衣物来精简衣橱。然而，服装整理在学术研究中并没有得到太多关注。本研究采用混合方法，通过调查：1）消费者整理衣物的动机和使用的方法；2）整理衣物对消费者对衣物的看法和消费习惯的影响；3）整理衣物对长期购置衣物的影响以及保持足够衣物消费的策略，来探讨反思性衣物整理如何与足够的衣物消费相关联。定性分析显示，整理的动机包括减少衣物的过度拥有、创造空间和寻找情感慰藉。参与者对其衣物的价值、拥有衣物的原因以及消费习惯有了深入的了解，这有助于他们确立未来的消费目标。纵向调查的定量研究结果补充了定性研究结果，表明反思性整理与衣物购买量减少有关，尽管六个月后略有反弹。定性研究结果还揭示了一些策略，包括有意识地购物和延长服装的生命周期，这些策略可以降低消费水平，并促进长期的以充足为导向的做法。

The fashion industry plays a pivotal role in societal evolution and economic growth, yet it also stands as a significant contributor to environmental degradation. In response, the concept of slow fashion has been gaining increased attention in recent years, offering sustainable and circular alternatives to fast fashion. Luxury fashion, traditionally known for its heritage, exclusivity, and craftsmanship, exhibits elements similar to slow fashion, thereby exerting considerable influence on industry trends and consumer behaviour. This study explores the drivers shaping the luxury fashion landscape and the evolving circular economy and sustainability trends within the UK, a key global influencer in the luxury fashion domain. Luxury fashion's impact extends beyond its niche market, often setting benchmarks for innovation and sustainable practices that influence the broader fashion industry. Leveraging readily available qualitative and quantitative data from LinkedIn profiles, this research employs Latent Dirichlet Allocation analysis to uncover relevant topics within a dataset comprising 1115 companies registered in the “Apparel and Fashion” and “Textiles” industries. Five key drivers emerge, including Artful Creations in Fashion, Time-Honoured Craftsmanship, The Art of Style and Design, The Pinnacle of Retail Excellence, and A Personalised Style Experience. Additionally, utilising the Google Collab Platform and Python language, this study identifies circular economy and sustainability trends within luxury fashion. While approximately 20% of the companies studied actively emphasise sustainability, circular economy requires comparable attention. This research provides industry stakeholders and scholars with valuable insights into sustainable and circular practices, thus guiding innovation and informed decision-making in the fashion industry.

The global event and convention industry is singlehandedly one of the largest and most lucrative sectors in business forecasting market size projected at approximately more than two trillion U.S. dollars by 2028. Despite being a significant contributor to global economic growth, the event and convention industry faces a pressing environmental challenge due to its substantial carbon footprint. Current practices in the industry inadequately address sustainability concerns, leading to a critical gap in integrating environmental considerations into core business models. The lack of sustainability considerations contributes to climate degradation and undermines the industry's long-term success and resilience. This observation signifies the need for a more systematic trajectory toward total decarbonization of the industry through the implementation of sustainable practices across its value chain. This work aims to develop a conceptual framework of sustainability assessment for a case study in the event and convention sector integrating two indicators: greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. The result identified a critical gap in current practices regarding the insufficient integration of sustainability assessment into the core financial business models of firms. The authors propose a new approach to address this by integrating economic impact analysis through the employment of the Return of Sustainability Investments – discovered as the most effective sustainability economic impact assessment method in this study. To facilitate optimized implementation, a multilevel strategy framework enabling the adoption of a sustainability assessment is presented in this paper. This paper contributes to improved execution of sustainability assessments, where the framework can be applied in heterogeneous sectors.

据预测，到 2028 年，全球会展业的市场规模将超过两万亿美元。尽管活动和会议业对全球经济增长做出了重大贡献，但由于其巨大的碳足迹，该行业面临着紧迫的环境挑战。该行业目前的做法未能充分解决可持续发展问题，导致在将环境因素纳入核心业务模式方面存在重大差距。缺乏可持续发展方面的考虑会导致气候退化，并损害该行业的长期成功和复原力。这一观察结果表明，有必要通过在整个价值链中实施可持续发展实践，以更系统的方式实现该行业的全面去碳化。这项工作旨在为活动和会议行业的一项案例研究开发一个可持续发展评估概念框架，其中整合了两个指标：温室气体排放和能源消耗。研究结果发现，目前的实践中存在一个重要的缺陷，即没有将可持续发展评估充分纳入企业的核心财务商业模式。作者提出了一种新的方法来解决这一问题，即通过使用可持续发展投资回报率来整合经济影响分析，这是本研究中发现的最有效的可持续发展经济影响评估方法。为促进优化实施，本文提出了一个可采用可持续性评估的多层次战略框架。本文有助于改进可持续性评估的执行，该框架可应用于不同部门。

Current practices in the industry inadequately address sustainability concerns, leading to a critical gap in integrating environmental considerations into core business models. The lack of sustainability considerations contributes to climate degradation and undermines the industry's long-term success and resilience. This observation signifies the need for a more systematic trajectory toward total decarbonization of the industry through the implementation of sustainable practices across its value chain. This work aims to develop a conceptual framework of sustainability assessment for a case study in the event and convention sector integrating two indicators: greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. The result identified a critical gap in current practices regarding the insufficient integration of sustainability assessment into the core financial business models of firms. The authors propose a new approach to address this by integrating economic impact analysis through the employment of the Return of Sustainability Investments – discovered as the most effective sustainability economic impact assessment method in this study. To facilitate optimized implementation, a multilevel strategy framework enabling the adoption of a sustainability assessment is presented in this paper.

This research presents a clear overview of greenwashing practices in the food industry, along with instances in the academic literature. In this work, a bibliometric analysis covering over 711 articles from the Scopus database was carried out. According to the findings, research on greenwashing in general has expanded dramatically in the previous ten years, indicating an increasing importance for the upcoming years. While greenwashing is an established phenomenon in the food industry and an emerging topic among consumers, relatively few research papers are available on the subject; this review identified 16 papers that met the inclusion criteria. The review offers a detailed analysis of these papers. Key factors contributing to greenwashing practices in the food industry include advertising, access to information, transparency, knowledge, trust, and labelling. The review also identifies six major subtopics that significantly influence the food industry: retailers, corporate social responsibility, consumer research, food supply chain, and stakeholders. This study aims to serve as a valuable reference for policymakers and scholars who are determining the future path of greenwashing research. This review also aligns with the focus of the research agenda of several nations, and the EU, to act firmly against greenwashing practices and deceptive environmental claims.

本研究清楚地概述了食品行业的 "绿色清洗 "做法以及学术文献中的实例。在这项工作中，对 Scopus 数据库中超过 711 篇文章进行了文献计量分析。研究结果表明，在过去十年中，有关 "绿色清洗 "的研究总体上急剧增加，这表明其重要性在未来几年将不断增加。虽然 "绿色清洗 "在食品行业是一种既定现象，在消费者中也是一个新兴话题，但有关这一主题的研究论文却相对较少；本综述确定了 16 篇符合纳入标准的论文。本综述对这些论文进行了详细分析。造成食品行业 "洗绿 "行为的主要因素包括广告、信息获取、透明度、知识、信任和标签。综述还确定了对食品行业有重大影响的六大子课题：零售商、企业社会责任、消费者研究、食品供应链和利益相关者。本研究旨在为决策者和学者提供有价值的参考，帮助他们确定 "绿色清洗 "研究的未来发展方向。本综述也与一些国家和欧盟的研究议程重点一致，即坚决打击绿色清洗行为和欺骗性环境声明。

Alternative consumer networks (ACNs) have become increasingly important for promoting sustainable development. This study provides a conceptual clarification of ACNs and systematically reviews their impact on sustainable development. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we identified 218 peer-reviewed references that report on sustainability outcomes of ACNs at different levels, including determinants of motivation, contextual changes, behavioral changes, and social, ecological, and economic impacts. Our findings demonstrate that ACNs have a multifaceted influence on sustainability, highlighting the interconnected nature of various outcomes. This holistic approach captures the broad and significant role ACNs play in advancing sustainable practices across multiple dimensions of sustainability. We synthesized these results into a comprehensive logic model, which serves as a practical tool for systematically assessing the impact of ACNs. This model helps practitioners focusing on relevant outcomes and to develop and implement effective strategies tailored to their specific contexts. Additionally, it provides researchers with a structured framework for further study, facilitating a deeper understanding of the dynamic relationships between different sustainability outcomes.

替代消费者网络（ACNs）对于促进可持续发展越来越重要。本研究对 ACN 的概念进行了澄清，并系统地回顾了它们对可持续发展的影响。根据系统综述和荟萃分析首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南，我们确定了 218 篇同行评审参考文献，从不同层面报告了 ACN 的可持续发展成果，包括动机的决定因素、环境变化、行为变化以及社会、生态和经济影响。我们的研究结果表明，幼儿保育网络对可持续发展具有多方面的影响，突出了各种成果的相互关联性。这种整体方法捕捉到了可持续发展网络在推动可持续发展实践的多个方面所发挥的广泛而重要的作用。我们将这些结果综合成一个全面的逻辑模型，作为系统评估 ACN 影响的实用工具。该模型有助于实践者关注相关成果，并根据具体情况制定和实施有效战略。此外，它还为研究人员提供了进一步研究的结构化框架，有助于深入了解不同可持续性成果之间的动态关系。
