“…An online questionnaire was administered to the selected group between July and September 2018 through an open call. In the literature about remanufactured products, some studies have used a broad spectrum of participants without considering their familiarity with these products (Bittar, 2018), whereas other studies used this characteristic to include (e.g. Hazen et al , 2012a) or exclude certain participants (Wang and Hazen, 2016).…”

“…This difference might be attributed to respondents' information and interests about remanufactured products. Majority of the studies on the consumption of remanufactured products has been conducted on students (Hazen et al , 2012a, b; Jiménez-Parra et al , 2014; Wang and Hazen, 2016; Hazen et al , 2017a, b; Wang et al , 2018a, b), general population (Gaur et al , 2015; Jena and Sarmah, 2015; Khor and Hazen, 2016; Hazen et al , 2017b; Bittar, 2018; Matsumoto et al , 2018; Wang et al , 2018b) and practitioners (Wang et al , 2014).…”

PurposeThis study assesses how “green behaviour” influences the switching intention towards remanufactured products in sustainable consumers by introducing the possibility of an innovation diffusion approach for promotion efforts.Design/methodology/approachThis study utilises a mixed-method approach. First, a study with a non-experimental causal design was performed with 248 cell phone users characterised by exhibiting sustainable consumption behaviours. Subsequently, 13 in-depth interviews were conducted to obtain a better understanding of the switching intention.FindingsFor sustainable consumers, green purchase behaviour and attitude towards remanufactured products have a significant effect on their switching intention. These results contrast with previous literature, where it was found that price differences, government incentives and environmental benefits were significant for consumers in general.Practical implicationsSwitching intention towards remanufactured products in sustainable consumers may be encouraged by influencing factors related to green behaviour, rather than factors related to the market (e.g. reducing price, specific labelling or governmental regulations). Moreover, sustainable consumers could be regarded as the first adopters of remanufactured products.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to introduce green purchase behaviour to predict sustainable consumers' switching intention towards remanufactured products.

“…Remanufacturing is the main mode of production to realize the recycling and sustainable development of resources, and the main means of green environmental protection. An important contribution of remanufactured products is the protection of the environment (Bittar, 2018). Through the experiment on red roses, it is concluded that consumers’ environmental preferences have a great impact on consumers’ willingness to pay (Michaud and Llerena, 2008, 2011).…”

A Study on Consumers’ Willingness to Pay for Remanufactured Products: A Study Based on Hierarchical Regression Method

As one of the low-carbon products, remanufactured products are being paid more attention in more and more countries. But the low willingness of Chinese consumers to pay for them makes it difficult for remanufactured products companies to move forward in the Chinese market. This study explores the factors that affect consumers’ willingness to pay for remanufactured goods, through the hierarchical linear regression method, based on questionnaires. The results show that demographic variables (age, education, occupation, and income), individual subjective variables (environmental awareness, secondhand preferences, and Chinese quality trust) and product perception variables (MP4 quality perceived risk, face risk, and product impact on the environment) have a significant impact on the willingness to pay for remanufactured goods.

“…Abbey & Blackburn [34] investigate the optimal pricing of NP and RP using a model with the assumption that the customer does or does not show preferences for NP. Bittar explores RP pricing strategy by investigating factors that are important to leverage RP sales, brand equity and consumers' environmental consciousness [13]. Liu et al combine RP price with the variation of warranty period to get the optimal strategy [14].…”

Remanufacturing is one of the most effective forms of the recycling economy, and the “Trade-in for Remanufacturing” (TIFR) program in China plays an important role in the development of remanufacturing. To understand this new business model of remanufacturing, the price and demand relationship of the NP and RP are examined in two periods, considering TIFR subsidy which is in practice in China. Comparing integrated optimization scheme and tiered optimization scheme, this paper then researches the pricing strategy with TIFR subsidy respectively, as multi-object optimization is employed in the latter scheme. Tiered optimization pricing is found to improve the old customer’s TIFR enthusiasm, balance the remanufacturing system and work better with TIFR subsidy through numerical experiments. This paper studies the impacts of subsidy rate, receptiveness to RP, and the mixture of them, then verifies the proposed model and gives an inspiration to the management of the new remanufacturing business model about TIFR subsidy.
