“…We analysed twenty-eight articles on consumer behaviour regarding CBMs that were conducted in Austria, Italy, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia (western), Sweden, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Some of these studies analysed consumer behaviour in relation to specific products, being the most common ones clothing (Cesarina Mason et al, 2022;Fuchs and Hovemann, 2022;Hur, 2020;Laitala et al, 2021;Rogers et al, 2021;Singh et al, 2019;Terzioğlu, 2021), electronics -including smartphones - (Arman and Mark-Herbert, 2022;van den Berge et al, 2023;Bigerna et al, 2021;Bovea et al, 2017Bovea et al, , 2018Martinho et al, 2017;Ratay, 2022), household appliances (Bovea et al, 2017(Bovea et al, , 2018Gulserliler et al, 2022;Kabel et al, 2020;Laitala et al, 2021;Rogers et al, 2021;Terzioğlu, 2021), and bicycles (Arman and Mark-Herbert, 2022;D'Agostin et al, 2020;Rogers et al, 2021;Vafadarnikjoo et al, 2018). As presented in Figure 2 below, most studies cover consumer behaviour in repair, followed by second-hand and take-back systems of recovery.…”

“…Economically active respondents demonstrate greater environmental awareness and are more likely to engage in disposal for recycling, which is probably explained by their cultural and living conditions, rather than income level (Ratay, 2022). Another study aimed to understand the correlation between green shopping and consumer participation in recycling (Cesarina Mason et al, 2022) The results showed that among millennials, only individuals with high environmental concerns had their participation in recycling reinforcing the intention-behaviour link with socially responsible consumer behaviour.…”

Circular business models (CBMs) focus on cycling, extending, intensifying, and/or dematerialising material and energy loops to reduce resource inputs and waste and emission leakage. We aim to explore consumer behaviour in circular economy through a systematic literature review to determine barriers and motivators to implementing CBMs, analysing twenty-eight articles. We identified internal motivations, such as economic and environmental concerns; and external factors facilitating engagement with circularity, such as better awareness, and products with design for circularity.

“…Tourists’ participation in waste sorting should be encouraged to achieve the sustainability of environment and tourism. Prior studies documented several types of waste disposal behaviors and intentions, such as waste recycling behavior and binning behavior [ 21 , 42 ]. In the domain of waste sorting, however, existing research mainly involves waste separation in urban or rural households [ 43 , 44 ].…”

“…The fundamental principle of TPB is that individuals make decisions based on the rational calculation of the costs and benefits, in which their attitudes, perceived social pressure, and control over the behavior are the key players [ 19 ]. Due to its parsimoniousness and robustness in predicting individual behaviors, TPB has been extensively applied in the research on sustainable environmental behaviors and intentions [ 18 , 20 ], including general pro-environmental behaviors and specific behaviors (e.g., energy saving and waste recycling) [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. In terms of waste sorting, extant studies focus on the household context, rather than the context of tourism [ 25 ].…”

Waste sorting is a practical way of handling the garbage and an effective strategy for facilitating sustainable waste management. This research extended the theory of planned behavior (TPB) with self-identity and moral norms to predict waste sorting intentions in a heritage context of tourism. A total of 403 valid self-administrated questionnaires were achieved at a heritage destination in China. The results indicated that: (1) TPB variables (i.e., attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control), self-identity, and moral norms were all directly and positively linked to tourists’ waste sorting intentions, respectively; (2) self-identity indirectly influenced tourists’ waste sorting intentions through the mediation of moral norms; and (3) the integrated model exhibited better predictive utility than any single model. This research contributes to the literature on waste management in the context of tourism by extending TPB with identity and personal normative constructs. It also provides practical implications for destination managers to leverage tourists’ self-identity and moral norms for sustainable management.

“…almost weekly changes are made to the portfolio and garments are reduced in their lifetime, being only kept half as long as in the year 2000 (Drew and Yehounne, 2017). Fast fashion influences evoke short life cycles, high volatility, affordable prices and impulse purchases (Cesarina Mason et al ., 2022), which makes it both attractive for consumers and harmful for the environment.…”

PurposeSports fashion is marketed showing happiness, physical performance and self-care. Thus, sports fashion brands should see a good fit with sustainability: future orientation, self-care, care for others and going out for a physical experience, oftentimes in nature. On the other hand, sports fashion is regularly made of non-sustainable materials and produced under difficult work conditions. This paper aims to discuss the aforementioned issues.Design/methodology/approachThe paper at hand seeks to investigate sports brands' approach to sustainability by examining their product portfolio and their annual report data, analyzing their status quo and sustainability strategy. A content analysis is conducted employing the brands' annual reports and their online shops as data sources to assess their status quo in terms of sustainability as well as future plans.FindingsResults show that on the ecological side, brands unanimously focus on carbon reduction, organic cotton, recycled polyester, circularity-ready business model innovation and water and toxic waste management. The social aspect may be divided into the focal brand and the supply chain, including similar measures: equality and diversity, the promotion of ethnic and cultural minorities and increased safety and health for workers.Originality/valueThe paper derives development opportunities and pitfalls for sports fashion brands.
