“…Structural equation modeling (SEM) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were employed, which integrates both structural and measurement models, allowing for the simultaneous simulation of multiple regression equations [29,67]. SEM facilitates the examination of intercorrelations between a series of constructs represented by multiple variables, enabling the assessment of the statistical significance of construct weights and path coefficients [68,69]. Previous studies within the field of reusable containers and sustainability successfully applied PLS-SEM [53,[69][70][71].…”

The issue of sustainability has once again received attention and promotion in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. Countries worldwide have launched returnable cup services for beverages, such as Taiwan, which is a highly developed market for hand-shaken drinks, and various beverage and convenience stores have been gradually launching this service. However, reasonable usage rates have yet to be achieved. This study aimed to explore the psychological cognition of using a returnable cups service by understanding the motivation affecting the behavior intention through external and internal influencing and categorizing realistic cognition, which observes the motivating factors from three perspectives: passively acquired awareness, autonomous consciousness, and perception in real life for further achieving environmental sustainability. Research found that when consumers’ environmental awareness is insufficient to sacrifice convenience, it is necessary to employ a service strategy design for passive influence. The focal point for influencing consumer attitudes lies in the backend of services, particularly in cup return, which is the chain-closing juncture. The result can provide the beverage industry and governments with a reference to promote returnable cups and contribute to plastic reduction in sustainable development.

This research proposes an innovation in looking at the relationship between environmental awareness and health awareness in the midst of climate change. With a qualitative approach, we conducted a survey using a Likert scale questionnaire to evaluate the level of environmental awareness and health awareness among randomly selected respondents from various backgrounds. The results of the study show that there is a strong relationship between environmental awareness (EA) and health consciousness (HC). These findings indicate that individuals with higher levels of environmental awareness tend to have a deeper health awareness, perhaps due to an understanding of the impacts of climate change on human well-being. In conclusion, this research confirms that developing environmental awareness can be a gateway to strengthening health consciousness amidst climate change. To face the challenges of climate change, an integrated approach is needed, which combines knowledge of the environment with an understanding of the health implications. Suggestions for further research are to explore the role of education and social campaigns in building and maintaining eco-sustainability awareness. Further research could also involve in-depth analysis of the daily practices adopted by eco-conscious individuals, as well as how these practices contribute to overall personal and environmental health.

As a case study on sustainable energy use in educational institutions, this study examines the design and integration of a solar–hydrogen storage system within the energy management framework of Kangwon National University’s Samcheok Campus. This paper provides an extensive analysis of the architecture and integrated design of such a system, which is necessary given the increasing focus on renewable energy sources and the requirement for effective energy management. This study starts with a survey of the literature on hydrogen storage techniques, solar energy storage technologies, and current university energy management systems. In order to pinpoint areas in need of improvement and chances for progress, it also looks at earlier research on solar–hydrogen storage systems. This study’s methodology describes the system architecture, which includes fuel cell integration, electrolysis for hydrogen production, solar energy harvesting, hydrogen storage, and an energy management system customized for the needs of the university. This research explores the energy consumption characteristics of the Samcheok Campus of Kangwon National University and provides recommendations for the scalability and scale of the suggested system by designing three architecture systems of microgrids with EMS Optimization for solar–hydrogen, hybrid solar–hydrogen, and energy storage. To guarantee effective and safe functioning, control strategies and safety considerations are also covered. Prototype creation, testing, and validation are all part of the implementation process, which ends with a thorough case study of the solar–hydrogen storage system’s integration into the university’s energy grid. The effectiveness of the system, its effect on campus energy consumption patterns, its financial sustainability, and comparisons with conventional energy management systems are all assessed in the findings and discussion section. Problems that arise during implementation are addressed along with suggested fixes, and directions for further research—such as scalability issues and technology developments—are indicated. This study sheds important light on the viability and efficiency of solar–hydrogen storage systems in academic environments, particularly with regard to accomplishing sustainable energy objectives.
