“…The sample of this study is the same used in the work of Kerber et al (2023), which investigated the influence of environmental consciousness in the consumers' intention to purchase greener smartphones. The questionnaire was embedded in Typeform® online platform, and it was open to receive answers from 19 April 2021 to 19 May 2021.…”

Purchasing green products is one of the cornerstones to promote sustainable development since the negative impact of these products is lower than traditional goods. In a Circular Economic (CE) context, green products begin to encompass reconditioned products reintroduced to the production and consumption cycle, such as remanufactured products. Many green products and remanufactured products' features intersect; however, the consumers' perception of these two products is not equal. The present work analyses the consumers' intention to purchase remanufactured products in the Southern Brazil, in a CE context. To that end, 228 consumers from Southern Brazil answered a stated preference questionnaire with different scenarios of remanufactured smartphones with warranty, label and discount. Results indicate that warranty, label, and discount positively impact the consumers' choice towards remanufactured smartphones. Furthermore, results indicate that consumers would be willing to give up more on the discount in order to have a scenario where the remanufactured smartphone has a label and warranty. This study contributes to the literature on consumers' perception and purchase intention towards remanufactured products in emerging economies, which is still scarce. Furthermore, the industry might benefit from this work since understanding what affects consumers' purchase intention may help redirect marketing strategies to increase demand and competitiveness.

“…Thus, concerns of this dimension are issues such as the use of renewable energy, greenhouse gas emissions, and ecological footprint, and so on (Lorena et al, 2021). Finally, the social dimension refers to actions aimed at society, work and, above all, human capital in sustainable development (Alhaddi, 2015;Kerber et al, 2023).…”

Purpose: This article aims to propose improvements to a solid waste cooperative’s value stream from social, environmental, and economic aspects of sustainability and within the scope of lean philosophy. Design/Methodology/Approach: An empirical piece of research was developed to obtain an overview of the productive process of a cooperative located in the city of Florianópolis, in Southern Brazil, starting with the application of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) in a case study. Results: Some sustainability challenges in waste management were identified in the studied cooperative’s reality, such as: Urban Solid Waste (USW) inefficient management; lack of resources to help with basic expenses, which jeopardizes the individual income earned by pickers; risks to workers when carrying out activities without personal protective equipment and instructions on how to perform tasks properly, in addition to the disorganized environment, which results in high piles of waste and puts the workers’ health at risk. Research Limitations: As limitations, it is possible to list the focus on a single material flow for better applicability of VSM and non-implementation of the improvements proposed. Practical Implications: Results contributed to the cooperative analyzed in this study by identifying the main waste that compromise the organization’s operational and sustainable efficiency. Originality/Value: There is a research gap on the thematic axes of this study in the context of waste picker cooperatives; this article is therefore original for addressing the application of VSM with a sustainable bias in reverse logistics of solid waste.

“…Many scholars have defined purchase intention as "the behavioral response to a consumer's impression of a product" (Hsu, 1987). This response or motivation came toward a general evaluation of a specific brand, including the effect of surrounding factors (Kerber et al, 2023). Intent to buy a particular product has been demonstrated to be a decent forecaster of actual purchase behavior (Dong et al, 2022;Nguyen et al, 2022;Wei et al, 2021).…”
