The fashion industry faces urgent challenges related to overconsumption, material waste, and consumer detachment from garment lifecycles. While circular economy (CE) principles offer a promising alternative, strategies that actively engage consumers in circular practices remain underexplored. This study presents the Circular Shirt Builder (CSB), a physical apparel configurator designed to promote circular behaviours through modular garment design and embodied customisation. Using a Living Lab methodology, 19 participants engaged with the CSB in a stakeholder engagement platform in a retail-like setting, assembling modular shirts from a predefined library of components. The study employed a dual analysis approach: inductive thematic analysis and a deductive evaluation using the wellbeing framework for consumer experiences in the circular economy of the textile industry. Findings suggest that the CSB can foster emotional attachment, support learning about garment construction, encourage creative self-expression, and prompt reflection on consumption habits. Several wellbeing dimensions, such as playfulness, agency, and prospective thinking, appeared to be activated through the hands-on interaction. This research indicated that configurator tools grounded in circular and wellbeing principles may support long-term product use, more mindful consumption, and greater consumer involvement in transitions toward a circular textile economy.

时尚产业面临着与过度消费、材料浪费和消费者脱离服装生命周期有关的紧迫挑战。虽然循环经济（CE）原则提供了一个有希望的替代方案，但积极吸引消费者参与循环实践的战略仍未得到充分探索。本研究展示了一种名为“循环衬衫构建器”（CSB）的实体服装配置器，旨在通过模块化服装设计和个性化定制来促进循环行为。使用Living Lab方法，19名参与者与CSB在一个类似零售环境的利益相关者参与平台上进行互动，从预定义的组件库中组装模块化衬衫。该研究采用了双重分析方法：归纳主题分析和演绎评估，使用纺织行业循环经济中消费者体验的福利框架。研究结果表明，CSB可以培养情感依恋，支持服装制作学习，鼓励创造性的自我表达，并促进对消费习惯的反思。几个幸福的维度，如游戏性、能动性和前瞻性思维，似乎是通过动手互动激活的。这项研究表明，基于循环和健康原则的配置工具可以支持长期产品使用，更有意识的消费，以及更多的消费者参与到向循环纺织经济的过渡中。

Rapid global PV (photovoltaic) expansion driven by global decarbonization goals requires comprehensive life cycle environmental evaluation. This study applies a harmonized life cycle assessment (LCA) to seven representative PV modules across six installation scenarios, enabling consistent comparison at both module and system levels. Results indicate that cadmium telluride (CdTe) achieves the lowest environmental footprint, followed closely by perovskite-silicon tandem (PST) module at 23.28 Pt per kWp. Despite high conversion efficiency, PST module presents specific marine eutrophication and toxicity risks arising from heavy metal use. Conversely, polycrystalline silicon (Poly-Si) module exhibits the highest burden due to energy intensive manufacturing. Notably, system level analysis reveals that Balance of System (BOS) components contribute 48 %–70 % of total environmental damage, acting as the dominant environmental driver. Rooftop systems consistently outperform ground mounted alternatives, with human health identified as the main impact category. These insights indicate that reducing the PV environmental footprint relies on a coordinated strategy that optimizes module technology while minimizing BOS material intensity.

在全球脱碳目标的驱动下，全球光伏产业的快速扩张需要对其进行全面的生命周期环境评价。本研究采用协调生命周期评估（LCA）对六个安装方案中的七个代表性光伏模块进行了比较，从而在模块和系统层面进行了一致的比较。结果表明，碲化镉（CdTe）的环境足迹最低，其次是钙钛矿-硅串联（PST）模块，为23.28 Pt / kWp。尽管转换效率高，但PST模块存在特定的海洋富营养化和重金属使用引起的毒性风险。相反，多晶硅（Poly-Si）模块由于能源密集型制造而表现出最高的负担。值得注意的是，系统层面分析表明，系统平衡（BOS）组件对总环境损害的贡献为48% % - 70% %，是主要的环境驱动因素。屋顶系统始终优于地面安装的替代方案，人类健康被确定为主要影响类别。这些见解表明，减少光伏环境足迹依赖于优化模块技术，同时最大限度地降低BOS材料强度的协调策略。

Advocating for low-carbon residential energy usage is crucial for attaining China's carbon neutrality objectives. This study utilizes a stratified survey of 741 households in Zhongshan to investigate the interplay between educational attainment and environmental responsibility awareness in influencing the willingness to pay extra for energy-efficient appliances. It also examines the spatial and behavioral dynamics underlying these decisions. The results indicate that higher education markedly increases investment propensity by enhancing cognitive skills and long-term decision-making capabilities. Conversely, awareness of environmental responsibility may diminish the propensity to invest—especially among households with moderate education—when financial incentives are absent, resulting in a decrease of up to 24 %. Education serves as a moderating factor in reconciling the disparity between environmental values and behavioral capabilities. Distinct spatial disparities are evident: households in central urban regions exhibit greater environmental motivation, whereas those in peripheral areas face more significant financial constraints. The hukou status further distinguishes behavior—non-local households exhibit greater responsiveness to educational influences while also being more sensitive to immediate costs. These findings highlight the necessity of spatially customized and socially attuned policies that combine cognitive empowerment with behavioral incentives to effectively promote household green investments and facilitate the transition to low-carbon energy consumption.

倡导低碳住宅能源使用对于实现中国的碳中和目标至关重要。本研究透过对中山市741户家庭的分层调查，探讨受教育程度与环境责任意识对节能家电额外付费意愿的影响。它还研究了这些决策背后的空间和行为动态。结果表明，高等教育通过提高认知技能和长期决策能力显著提高投资倾向。相反，当缺乏财政激励时，环境责任意识可能会减少投资倾向，特别是在受教育程度中等的家庭中，导致高达24% %的减少。教育在调和环境价值和行为能力之间的差异方面起着调节作用。明显的空间差异：中心城市地区的家庭表现出更大的环境动机，而边缘地区的家庭则面临更大的财务约束。户口状况进一步区分了行为——非本地家庭对教育影响表现出更大的反应，同时对即时成本也更敏感。这些发现强调了空间定制和社会协调政策的必要性，这些政策将认知赋权与行为激励相结合，以有效促进家庭绿色投资并促进向低碳能源消费的过渡。

Plastic pollution poses a critical environmental challenge, driven by excessive consumption and inadequate waste management, particularly in agri-food systems. Mismanaged municipal solid waste contributes to severe ecological degradation as plastics accumulate in terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric environments. Addressing these issues requires context-specific evidence on the environmental trade-offs of recycling and disposal strategies. This study evaluates the life-cycle impacts of four representative single-use plastics — polyethylene terephthalate, low-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene and polypropylene — in a Mexican case study comprising 102 scenarios. Analyses consider three material compositions (virgin, virgin–recycled blends, and blends with energy recovery), five end-of-life strategies (mechanical recycling, chemical recycling, incineration, incineration with energy-recovery, and landfill), and six agri-food fillings. Following ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 guidelines, assessments were conducted using SimaPro with Ecoinvent database and ReCiPe 2016 midpoint method across five impact categories. Results indicate that increasing recycled content does not linearly reduce environmental impacts and that the filling and use stage — particularly rice and soybean oil — dominates life-cycle outcomes, sometimes shifting the optimal end-of-life strategy. Low-density polyethylene bags exhibit the highest impacts, while high-density polyethylene containers perform most favorably. Incorporating informal waste pickers and local practices reveals critical insights for real-world systems, highlighting the importance of regionally contextualized life-cycle assessments that extend beyond material composition. These findings support policies and practices that mitigate plastic pollution while promoting sustainable packaging and waste management in Mexico’s agri-food sector.

由于过度消费和废物管理不足，特别是在农业粮食系统中，塑料污染构成了严峻的环境挑战。由于塑料在陆地、水生和大气环境中积累，管理不善的城市固体废物会导致严重的生态退化。要解决这些问题，就需要根据具体情况提供回收和处置战略的环境权衡证据。本研究评估了四种具有代表性的一次性塑料——聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯、低密度聚乙烯、高密度聚乙烯和聚丙烯——在墨西哥的一项包括102种情景的案例研究中的生命周期影响。分析考虑了三种材料组成（原生，原生回收混合物，混合能源回收），五种寿命终止策略（机械回收，化学回收，焚烧，焚烧能源回收和垃圾填埋）和六种农业食品填充物。根据ISO 14040和ISO 14044指导方针，使用SimaPro与Ecoinvent数据库和ReCiPe 2016中点方法对五个影响类别进行了评估。结果表明，增加回收含量并不能线性地减少环境影响，灌装和使用阶段——尤其是大米和大豆油——主导着生命周期的结果，有时会改变最优的生命周期结束策略。低密度聚乙烯袋表现出最大的影响，而高密度聚乙烯容器表现最有利。将非正式的拾荒者和当地实践结合起来，揭示了对现实世界系统的重要见解，突出了超越材料成分的区域情境化生命周期评估的重要性。这些研究结果支持减轻塑料污染的政策和做法，同时促进墨西哥农业食品部门的可持续包装和废物管理。

Within the framework of the circular economy, extending the lifespan of electrical products through repairing them is a promising approach, particularly against the backdrop of growing e-waste levels. Consumers play a key role in facilitating repair and multiple studies have suggested their behaviour is influenced by combinations of different internal (e.g. attitudes, knowledge and motivation) and external factors (e.g. product design, market conditions and service availability). Despite this, in empirical research, there is still preference for psychological theories that foreground the individual. Thus, the present study moves beyond these theories and is underpinned by a multi-level perspective – an approach that can systematically organise factors to internal and external contexts. Through qualitative interviews with consumers we identify and then organise the factors that influence repair behaviours of household electrical appliances to a multi-level perspective including micro (individual), meso (household) and macro (repair ecosystems and beyond) levels. The main finding from the interviews and framework development was the identification of 18 influencing factors across four nested levels. The primary contribution is the resulting framework that makes explicit the different internal and external contexts that influence repair behaviours. In particular, the framework highlights the important role of the household-level and makes visible how factors and levels interact to influence repair behaviours. Hence, the framework supports program managers and policymakers to design multi-level interventions. We also offer several opportunities for future research to explore the role of household routines and structure and continue to build an understanding of the interactions between levels and factors.

在循环经济的框架内，通过维修来延长电子产品的使用寿命是一种很有前途的方法，特别是在电子废物水平不断增长的背景下。消费者在促进维修方面发挥着关键作用，多项研究表明，他们的行为受到不同内部因素（例如态度、知识和动机）和外部因素（例如产品设计、市场条件和服务可得性）的综合影响。尽管如此，在实证研究中，人们仍然倾向于以个体为前景的心理学理论。因此，本研究超越了这些理论，并以多层次视角为基础-一种可以系统地将因素组织到内部和外部背景的方法。通过对消费者的定性访谈，我们确定并组织影响家用电器维修行为的因素，包括微观（个人），中观（家庭）和宏观（修复生态系统及其他）层面。访谈和框架开发的主要发现是在四个嵌套的水平上确定了18个影响因素。主要的贡献是最终的框架，明确了影响修复行为的不同内部和外部环境。特别是，该框架强调了家庭层面的重要作用，并使各种因素和水平如何相互作用以影响修复行为可见。因此，该框架支持项目经理和决策者设计多层次的干预措施。我们还为未来的研究提供了几个机会，以探索家庭惯例和结构的作用，并继续建立对水平和因素之间相互作用的理解。

The growth of residential renewable energy has created new opportunities for decentralized energy systems, including peer-to-peer energy trading (P2P-ET). While the technical potential of P2P-ET is increasingly recognized, its broader adoption remains contingent on a complex set of behavioral drivers. This study proposes a two-tier behavioral framework to explain how individual value orientations (biospheric, egoistic, hedonic and altruistic) and experience with similar technologies influence adoption intentions through perceptual pathways. The proposed model was empirically tested using survey data from 456 participants. Multiple mediation analysis was conducted to examine both direct and mediated relationships among key constructs. Contrary to popular belief that the profit-making feature of P2P-ET is its biggest selling point, the results of our study show that participation intention was mainly predicted by hedonic motivation instead of utilitarian motivation. Warm glow effect, anticipated fun and sense of novelty contributed to stronger hedonic motivation. We observed positive total effect of biospheric and egoistic orientation, supporting the dual-appeal of P2P-ET model: environmental preservation and profit-making. Participants with similar experience showed greater willingness to participate in P2P-ET and perceived availability of facilitating conditions and the strength of social support more favourably. By integrating abstract value orientations and context-specific measures adapted from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2), this research offers a systematic approach to disentangling the psychological and contextual pathways that shape adoption behaviour in P2P-ET, pathing the way to design more targeted outreach strategies to promote energy prosumerism.

住宅可再生能源的增长为分散式能源系统创造了新的机会，包括点对点能源交易（P2P-ET）。虽然P2P-ET的技术潜力日益得到认可，但其广泛采用仍取决于一系列复杂的行为驱动因素。本研究提出了一个双层行为框架来解释个人价值取向（生物圈、利己主义、享乐主义和利他主义）和对类似技术的体验如何通过感知途径影响采用意图。利用456名参与者的调查数据对所提出的模型进行了实证检验。多重中介分析检验了关键构念之间的直接关系和中介关系。与人们普遍认为P2P-ET最大的卖点是盈利的观点相反，我们的研究结果表明，参与意愿主要是由享乐动机而不是功利动机预测的。温暖的辉光效应、预期的乐趣和新奇感有助于增强享乐动机。我们观察到生物圈和自我导向的正总效应，支持P2P-ET模式的双重吸引力：保护环境和盈利。具有相似经历的参与者表现出更大的参与P2P-ET的意愿，并对便利条件的可用性和社会支持的强度有更有利的感知。通过整合抽象的价值取向和适应于技术接受和使用统一理论2 （UTAUT2）的情境特定措施，本研究提供了一种系统的方法来分离在P2P-ET中形成采用行为的心理和情境路径，为设计更有针对性的推广策略来促进能源消费主义铺平道路。

Single-portion, multilayer sachets are a popular packaging format for food, home and self-care products in low-income countries. Sachet waste is non-recyclable, and visibly litters land, freshwater and ocean environments, particularly in South East Asian countries described as having a ‘sachet economy’. As annual global sachet sales exceed one trillion units, we ask whether low levels of research on sachets and the sachet economy could contribute to misinformation about environmental and socioeconomic damage and a lack of policy action to reduce sachet use. Based on the PRISMA-ScR method, our scoping review included novel comparative analyses of multiple exclusion screenings and development of a waste hierarchy for literature analysis to reveal how information available to stakeholders changes as criteria are tightened. We found little empirical research, with knowledge gaps often addressed by institutions and NGOs, particularly regarding alternatives to the sachet economy at the top of the waste hierarchy. Policymakers and consumers in the Philippines and Indonesia were the most common target audience and geographical context. A high proportion of grey literature and inconsistent terminology may introduce the potential for bias and reduced impact.

Our research highlights the urgency of further research into social and environmental impacts of the sachet lifecycle and alternatives such as refill. As sachet use rises and spreads globally, we assert that without robust research and practical guidance for decision makers, environmental and socioeconomic consequences of sachet use will continue to grow in South East Asia and spread quickly to other low-income economies, hidden in plain sight.

单份多层小袋是低收入国家食品、家庭和自我护理产品的流行包装形式。小袋垃圾是不可回收的，并且明显地散落在陆地、淡水和海洋环境中，特别是在被称为“小袋经济”的东南亚国家。由于全球每年的香囊销量超过一万亿支，我们想知道，对香囊和香囊经济的低水平研究是否会导致有关环境和社会经济损害的错误信息，以及缺乏减少香囊使用的政策行动。基于PRISMA-ScR方法，我们的范围审查包括对多重排除筛选的新颖比较分析和为文献分析开发的浪费层次结构，以揭示利益相关者可获得的信息如何随着标准的收紧而变化。我们发现很少有实证研究，机构和非政府组织经常解决知识差距问题，特别是在垃圾层级顶端的小袋经济的替代方案方面。菲律宾和印度尼西亚的政策制定者和消费者是最常见的目标受众和地理背景。灰色文献的高比例和不一致的术语可能会引入潜在的偏见和降低影响。我们的研究强调了进一步研究小袋生命周期和替代品（如重新填充）的社会和环境影响的紧迫性。随着香囊使用在全球范围内的增加和传播，我们断言，如果没有强有力的研究和对决策者的实际指导，香囊使用的环境和社会经济后果将在东南亚继续增长，并迅速蔓延到其他低收入经济体，隐藏在人们的视线中。

As the global emphasis on sustainability grows, understanding consumer behaviour towards certified products is vital for promoting responsible consumption practices. This study investigates Indonesian consumers' preferences, awareness, and willingness to pay (WTP) for sustainability-certified coffee. Utilising data from an online survey of 558 coffee consumers, a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) was conducted to assess WTP for three key attributes: sustainable labels (Grown Respectfully, Rainforest Alliance, and Common Code for the Coffee Community, also known as 4C), coffee types (Robusta and Arabica), and price. The mixed logit model estimation reveals a significant willingness to pay a premium for certified coffee despite generally low consumer preference and awareness. Among the sustainability labels, the Grown Respectfully label commands the highest WTP, with consumers willing to pay 28.50 % more than for the Rainforest Alliance label and 35.13 % more than for the 4C label. Coffee producers can use these findings to refine their strategies by prioritising transparent labelling and compelling narratives about sustainability, which can enhance consumer engagement, appeal to a range of income buyers, and provide a competitive edge in a market increasingly focused on sustainability.

随着全球对可持续性的重视日益增强，了解消费者对认证产品的行为对于促进负责任的消费行为至关重要。本研究调查了印尼消费者对可持续认证咖啡的偏好、意识和支付意愿（WTP）。利用对558名咖啡消费者的在线调查数据，进行了离散选择实验（DCE），以评估WTP的三个关键属性：可持续标签（尊重种植、雨林联盟和咖啡社区共同代码，也称为4C）、咖啡类型（罗布斯塔和阿拉比卡）和价格。混合logit模型估计显示，尽管消费者的偏好和认知度普遍较低，但他们仍愿意为认证咖啡支付额外费用。在可持续性标签中，尊重种植标签的WTP最高，消费者愿意比雨林联盟标签多支付28.50 %，比4C标签多支付35.13 %。咖啡生产商可以利用这些发现，通过优先考虑透明的标签和关于可持续性的引人注目的叙述，来完善他们的战略，这可以提高消费者的参与度，吸引一系列收入买家，并在日益关注可持续性的市场中提供竞争优势。

This study investigates the impacts of green service quality—an eco-friendly service reliability that benefits both consumers and the environment—on tourist engagement in green hotels. With 429 valid responses drawn from 550 invited tourists, this research employs a Path Analysis to examine the relationships among green service quality, perceived value, trust, and tourist engagement, while also exploring the moderating role of social influence. he results confirm that green service quality positively influences perceived value, trust, and, ultimately, tourist engagement. Additionally, perceived value and trust significantly impact tourist engagement, with perceived value also affecting trust. Crucially, social influence was found to strengthen the relationships: 1) between perceived value and tourist engagement and 2) between trust and tourist engagement. These findings emphasize the importance of green service quality in fostering green service value, trust, and engagement while understanding the moderating effects of social influence in green hotels. This offers insightful information to green hotels to strategically promote tourist engagement in using their green hospitality services.

本研究探讨绿色服务品质（一种既有利于消费者又有利于环境的环保服务可靠性）对绿色酒店游客参与的影响。本研究从550名受邀游客中抽取了429份有效回复，采用路径分析的方法考察了绿色服务质量、感知价值、信任和游客参与之间的关系，同时也探讨了社会影响的调节作用。他的研究结果证实，绿色服务质量对感知价值、信任以及最终的游客参与产生积极影响。此外，感知价值和信任显著影响游客参与，感知价值也影响信任。最重要的是，我们发现社会影响强化了以下关系：1)感知价值与游客参与之间的关系，以及2)信任与游客参与之间的关系。这些发现强调了绿色服务质量在促进绿色服务价值、信任和参与方面的重要性，同时理解了社会影响在绿色酒店中的调节作用。这为绿色酒店提供了有见地的信息，以战略性地促进游客参与使用其绿色酒店服务。
