“…It is crucial to acknowledge that desired outcomes from plastic bags' usage reduction can only be achieved when consumers actively participate in supporting (social and economic) institutions initiatives aiming to formulate environmentally sustainable policies and solutions. This finding aligns with findings from previous research from [15,39,85], who found a positive relationship between citizens' intentions to reduce single-use plastic consumption and their attitudes towards the issue.…”

“…Typical demarketing tactics and/or instruments, according to [14] include education, prevention, protection, and prosecution. Researchers like [15] urge an earnest need for authorities, businesses, and non-governmental organizations to work together to educate people about the value of environmental and public health protection to prevent detrimental social (including consumer) behaviors to make societies green, healthy, and pluralistic.…”

“…Studies in demarketing domains have mostly focused on product shortages, public services, health care, and sustainable tourism domains [15][16][17][18][19]. Though plentiful prescriptive studies have been conducted centering upon demarketing of certain activities, actions, or behaviors in diverse contexts, only a few have focused on demarketing the use of plastic bags [15,16,20]. While some studies have focused on the environmental impact of plastic bag use and the development of demarketing tactics [9,10], research gaps remain abundant regarding the effectiveness of these strategies in influencing consumer behaviors.…”

The use of plastic bags has long been a global concern due to its hazardous contributions to the environment. Firms, governments, and special interest groups (like Greenpeace) have always earnestly ventured, through their individual or collaborative initiatives, strategies and/or (demarketing) campaigns, to discourage the use of plastic bags to ensure a healthy and sustainable planet. However, such initiatives are least likely to produce desired results if the most important stakeholder i.e., consumers do not perceive greater value from such a reduction in usage of plastic bags. Considering the same an important precondition for building positive intentions and consequent behaviors to reduce plastic bag usage and a complementor of demarketing efforts of the stakeholders, the primary purpose of this study has been to investigate the role of consumers’ green orientation, environmental knowledge, and perceived instrumentality of demarketing efforts in enhancing the perceived value of plastic usage curtailment. Based on PLS-based structural equation modelling performed on a data set comprising 977 consumers, it has been found that the three antecedents namely green consumption orientation, recycling attitudes and demarketing efforts have direct positive effects on the outcome construct. Besides, the study also found that the effect of green consumption orientation on perceived value of plastic usage reduction is significantly and positively moderated by consumers’ recycling attitudes and their perceived effectiveness of demarketing efforts. The findings offer some useful insights and implications to the theory, practice and the policy making for boosting pro-environmental behaviors.

“…Ek and Soderholm (2010) pointed out that the energy-related activities of household members are important in the policies. Akyıldız and Koçoğlu (2022) showed the relation among attitude toward reducing the use of plastic bags, environmental manner and environmental behaviour. Tehci (2022) studied concerns, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours of individuals towards marine pollution.…”

Energy consumption sustainability can be ensured by reducing unnecessary energy consumption in households. Achieving this depends on increasing awareness levels of individuals about energy consumption and attitudes/behaviors that exhibit environmental responsibility. There are several indicators that show individuals are energy consumption responsible. One of the ways is the purchase of energy efficient household appliances (EEHA) in residential buildings. In this study, the attitudes and purchase intentions of households towards the choice of EEHA were investigated with a proposed structural model. In the model, it is assumed that energy information, which is defined as an exogenous latent variable, affects environmental concern and energy consumption responsibility, and that these two endogenous mediating latent variables affect the attitude towards EEHA and purchase intention. The analysis of the effects of the model and the importance performance map on the effect of latent variables on the intention to purchase EEHA was performed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). At the end of the study, it was determined that the proposed model has an acceptable fit and that energy information affects the intention to purchase EEHA through environmental concern and energy consumption responsibility.

Sustainability in the fashion business is the need of the hour for the lifestyle product sector to compete in the market. However, the required progress still needs to be achieved by the industries, particularly bamboo product industries owing to the constraints encompassing cost, regional-specific raw materials resources, innovative designs, aesthetics, fabrication & finishing process and conscious consumer buying behaviour and pattern. The overshoot of resources & degrading environment is encouraging the need to examine our consumption pattern as a fundamental approach towards sustainability. Consumers are becoming conscious of their buying decision, impacting the brands' deliverables and image to sustain the market. The research aims to study the impacts of conscious consumption of lifestyle bamboo products with sustainability perspectives from both the consumers and the suppliers. Products sold under the name of sustainability are rarely inspected to ensure the markers of sustainability. This paper will discuss the pillars of sustainability, the demands and preferences, consumer behaviour towards bamboo lifestyle products and social aspects from the stakeholders. The study employs descriptive research methods by surveying the consumers and retailers/suppliers of bamboo lifestyle products through questionnaires and interviews and secondary data collection through previous research in the field. The researchers used statistical tools and techniques to analyse the data and present the results. The outcomes of the study lead towards understanding the sustainable practices in the industry, and research on consumer behaviours can help the industry stakeholders understand the buying pattern and effects of conscious consumption concerning the economic, environmental and social sustainability of bamboo products.
