“…This positive cognitive evaluation creates a foundation for the formation of intention, as individuals tend to demonstrate a greater inclination and preparedness to participate in behaviors they perceive positively. Moreover, the positive influence of attitude on intention has been exemplified in numerous pro-environmental contexts (Ertz et al, 2017(Ertz et al, , 2021Sajid et al, 2023b;Tong et al, 2023). From the above literature review, we anticipate that a favorable attitude towards ZWL will lead to the intention to adopt ZWL.…”

“…Subjective norms encompass an individual's perception of the societal influence or pressure to partake in a specific behavior (Ajzen, 1991). When individuals perceive that their significant others or referent groups anticipate them to behave in a specific manner, they tend to conform to these expectations with a greater likelihood (Tong et al, 2023). For example, individuals who perceive support from their significant others, such as friends or family members, regarding pro-environmental behavior are more inclined to actively participate in such behavior themselves (Lou et al, 2022;Song et al, 2023).…”

PurposeThe zero-waste lifestyle (ZWL) is considered a reasonable step towards controlling waste generation and minimizing the consequences of human activities on the environment. The main aim of this study is to examine the behavioral antecedents of ZWL.Design/methodology/approachThe study draws on the theoretical underpinnings of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the norm activation model (NAM) to develop a conceptual framework to understand the antecedents to ZWL. A cross-sectional survey among 349 randomly-selected consumers provided data analyzed with the partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) methodology.FindingsThe results demonstrate that personal norms, attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control positively influenced the intention to adopt ZWL. Additionally, the study showed that the awareness of consequences influenced personal norms, attitudes and subjective norms. However, the study identified an intention–behavior gap in adopting ZWL.Originality/valueThis study serves as a pioneering exploration of the behavioral factors that impact the adoption of ZWL. Additionally, the paper endeavors to elucidate the underlying reasons behind the intention–behavior gap within this particular context. Consequently, the study offers substantial theoretical and practical implications aimed at promoting and fostering greater adoption of ZWL practices.

“…In many instances, the social norms stemming from such interactions prove to be instrumental at implementing CE. In many ABMS models, social norms affect CE behaviors of both households (Ceschi et al, 2021;Tong et al, 2018Tong et al, , 2023 and organizations (Lange et al, 2021a;Tian et al, 2021). For instance, early adopters may play a critical role: by setting new social norms they push other agents to adopt more circular behaviors.…”

Circular economy aims at decoupling human activities from resource use and creating wealth. However, many have questioned the link between increased circularity and sustainability, resulting in several methodological approaches being developed to answer that question. This article analyzes and discusses the insights gained from applying agent‐based modeling and simulation to study the techno‐economic and social conditions promoting circularity and sustainability. This article analyzes the benefits and limitations of this technology and discusses future methodology developments within the circular economy context. Moreover, six limits of the circular economy concept are used to interpret insights from the literature: thermodynamic limits, system boundary limits, limits posed by the physical scale of the economy, limits posed by path dependencies and lock‐in, limits of governance and management, and limits of social and cultural definitions. Promising research avenues are to use this methodology with machine learning, industrial ecology methods, and detailed geographic information.

“…A fundamental transition pathway towards carbon neutrality is to leverage the costs between fossil fuel-based and carbon-neutral or low-carbon technologies and industries (Adebayo et al, 2022;Crowther et al, 2022;Dong et al, 2022;Oyewo et al, 2022;Wang et al, 2023), in which the policy toolkit would play a vital role. Exploring how the policy mechanism would help the transition to carbon neutrality is valuable for the follow-up technology roadmap and national action design (Liu et al, 2018Ren et al, 2015;Tong et al, 2023).…”

The net zero strategy has created a global competition for carbon finance innovation, with over 50 countries and regions aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050 or 2060. This paper provides a preliminary comparative study of carbon neutrality policy instruments in Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong SAR, China: three critical and distinct economies in the Asia-Pacific region. The study examines policies in six categories that support carbon neutrality and compares them based on political economy and market features. The findings reveal that Japan has a rather diverse policy matrix, while Singapore has made rapid progress in carbon finance in a controversial political economy. Hong Kong’s renewable energy policies use a multifaceted approach that emphasizes both carbon emission reduction and environmental quality improvement. Although Hong Kong aspires to become a centre for green finance, it currently lags behind Singapore in this area. The study sheds light on the development and implementation of emerging policies related to carbon neutrality in Asia-Pacific region.
