Switching intention towards the purchase of remanufactured cellphones: development of a scale in the Mexican context

Abstract

The adoption of a circular economy requires the change of some systemic characteristics. One specific change is the regular purchase of remanufactured products. Therefore, the aim of this study is to offer a framework that could help in future studies to determine the purchase intention rate of remanufactured products in the Mexican context. After a pilot test starting with 80 items, three purification stages were performed to obtain a 20-item scale measuring value, government incentives, environmental benefits, attitude and purchase intention.
