A Mutual Learning Platform: A Consumer-supplier Collaboration Experiment for Low-carbon Supply Chain innovation

Abstract

The value chain and corresponding supply chain have been developed depending on an economy that requires high greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This problem needs to be solved and drastic changes are needed. Suppliers have been taking a variety of measures, albeit within the ranges of their present value chains, in response to societal demands and following or pre-empting government requests. Meanwhile, consumers also find behavioural change difficult, even though they are aware of eco-friendly purchasing. We designed a mutual learning platform as a place to rebuild the divided relationship between consumers and suppliers and conducted an in-store experiment at a supermarket. Through the experiment, we examined the effectiveness of the mutual learning platform.

Are Gender Perspectives Included in Education for Sustainable Consumption and Waste Education Programs? A Systematic Literature Review

“…As for the articles on non-formal education, these addressed different societal segments, including the local community in household waste management and natural resource conservation (Hadiyanti, 2016;Indrianti, 2016;Patterson, Lindén, Edward, Wilhelmsson, and Löfgren, 2009); the public and private sectors in environmental bioethics and food consumption (Oto et al, 2012;Ribas et al, 2017;Ruini et al, 2016); health professionals dealing with alcohol consumption issues and healthcare waste management (Brumby et al, 2011;Kumar, Somrongthong, and Shaikh, 2015); household water end-users (Kossieris, Kozanis, et al, 2014;Kossieris, Panayiotakis, et al, 2014); consumers and retailers (Nagata, Azuma, Oda, Fujiwara, and Hanya, 2014); the general public on solid and municipal solid waste management (Kamaruddin, Pawson, and Kingham, 2013;Polanec et al, 2013); and, studies directed to youth from middle school age (Hadjichambis, Paraskeva-Hadjichambi, Ioannou, Georgiou, and Manoli, 2015), to university age (Yang, Chien, and Liu, 2012).…”
