“…Sigith et al (2017) study found that women were buying ecolabeled products to a greater extent. According to the author of this study, it resulted from a more positive attitude of women toward the environment than in the case of men [80]. Similarly, in [77,78], where women expressed more support and interest for ecolabel criteria.…”

In the modern retail system, labels may be defined as silent-sellers which, if recognized and understood by consumers, may allow them to make conscious choices. This simple concern is particularly important considering e-commerce: it ensures customers to find nearly everything they demand without the need to exit from home; however, as shoppers are not in direct contact with sales-clerks, labels play even more a crucial role in the purchasing decision. Online shopping is increasing, notably among young people, and ecolabels represent for producers a tool to distinguish their goods and to provide consumers reliable and credible information about the environmental characteristics of their products. Despite the growing interest in the above-mentioned topics, research which investigate the recognition of ecolabels in online shopping by young consumers lack. To this purpose, the authors conducted an online questionnaire that was distributed to a sample of 559 young consumers who shop online in the most popular Polish retailing chains. Results reveal that online shopping is becoming increasingly popular in Poland, but only some ecolabels were recognized by more than 50% of respondents. This result is not correlated to the frequency of online purchases nor to gender. The recognition of ecolabels among consumers is fundamental.

“…Students are agents of change and have significant roles in addressing and overcoming environmental issues (Sigit, Fauziah, & Heryanti, 2017). One of such roles is becoming critical consumers; considering ecolabels when making purchasing decisions and purchasing ecolabeled products because students are aware that environmental issues result from human activities such as non-ecological purchasing (Muslim & Indriani, 2014).…”

Ecolabels are used to create environmental awareness and to direct individuals toward sustainable consumption. This study explored the awareness and use of ecolabels in purchasing decisions among students at the University of Education, Winneba, Ghana. The exploratory survey design was employed in this study. An online survey which had 18 items, was used to collect data from two hundred and sixty-six (266) students. The data collected were processed via SPSS version 25.0 and analysed using frequency and percentage. The results were presented in tables, followed by their interpretation and discussion. Generally, students' awareness of ecolabels is below average. Most students (n=131; 49%) are unaware of ecolabels such as Ghana Green Label, Fairtrade and Voltic Ghana Eco-logo. In addition, the study found that the majority of students do not notice and search for ecolabels while shopping. Further, the study found that students who purchased products with ecolabels were below average. However, the majority of students (72.93%) trust that products carrying ecolabels are environmentally friendly and are willing to pay more for products bearing ecolabels. Therefore, the study recommended that producers, organisations and institutions such as the Environmental Protection Agency-Ghana (EPA-Ghana) should increase the awareness of ecolabels and the need to use ecolabels in purchasing decisions.

“…Zahlreiche Schlagzeilen der letzten Jahre wie "Textilarbeiter unter Trümmern" (Radunski, 2013) oder "Giftige Wäsche" (Liebrich/Dostert, 2011) haben die Branche erschüttert und bei den Verbrauchern zunehmende Besorgnis ausgelöst (Thøgersen, 2000). In Verbindung mit dem steigenden Druck der Politik und Öffentlichkeit intensiviert sich auch seitens der Modeunternehmen die Diskussion über gesellschaftliche Verantwortung und der Bedarf, angemessen auf die gewandelten Verbraucherpräferenzen zu reagieren (Sigit et al, 2017;Gertz, 2005;Santos-Roldán et al, 2020).…”

Der Einsatz von Siegeln in verschiedenen Branchen ist seit einigen Jahren in den Fokus der Wissenschaft und Praxis gerückt. Dabei weisen Textilsiegel nicht den gleichen Erfolg wie Siegel aus anderen Bereichen auf. In Verbindung mit der Tatsache, dass die Textil- und Bekleidungsindustrie in Deutschland eine der entscheidendsten Konsumgüterbranchen darstellt, soll im Verlauf dieses Artikels die Wirksamkeit von Textilsiegeln als Informationsinstrument innerhalb Deutschlands genauer untersucht werden. Die Ergebnisse veranschaulichen, dass die Effektivität von in Deutschland gängigen Textilsiegeln in der Praxis bislang unzureichend ist. Dies ist vor allem auf das Problem des mangelnden Informationsstandes der Verbraucher zurückzuführen.
