“…This suggests that concern for sustainability is a potent motivator for intending to integrate sustainability practices. This trend is in line with emerging research emphasizing the growing impact of environmental concern on behavior [92,93]. It highlights the potential of leveraging sustainability concerns in interventions and policies to promote sustainable behaviors.…”

“…This could indicate that in the context of sustainability, perceived control may not be as pivotal in shaping intentions as previously thought, or it could reflect a more nuanced relationship in this domain. Study [92] suggests that in the context of environmental behaviors, other factors such as ecological values or external barriers might play a more significant role.…”

“…For instance, the total effect of attitude on intention to integrate sustainability remains significant at 0.542, underscoring the robustness of this relationship. Analyzing total effects is crucial in TPB applications, as it acknowledges the interconnected nature of these psychological constructs and their combined influence on behavior [92,94].…”

Incorporating sustainability principles into university and college course offerings is pivotal in molding future leaders and innovators. This study focuses on the Philippines, where higher education institutions (HEIs) increasingly embed sustainability into their academic and operational frameworks. This study aims to quantitatively assess the level of teacher intention to integrate sustainability into curricula in higher education. Utilizing the expanded Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), it examines the relationships between sustainability knowledge, concern for sustainability, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, attitude towards sustainability integration, and the intention to integrate sustainability. The methodology involves a cross-sectional study using a web-based survey disseminated through multiple platforms. The sample size was determined through a priori calculation and proportional stratified sampling, with 227 respondents. Utilizing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study uncovers that educators’ attitudes notably shape intentions to integrate sustainability into curricula. While the direct effect of perceived behavioral control is limited, institutional support is deemed to be crucial. Additionally, sustainability concerns strongly influence educators’ intentions, emphasizing the necessity for environmental awareness. These findings inform policymaking and underscore the significance of fostering sustainable practices in higher education through institutional support and awareness initiatives. Finally, this study aims to enhance the effectiveness of sustainability education in the Philippines and contribute to global sustainability efforts.

This study explores the factors affecting proper garbage disposal in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, Philippines, where approximately 49 tons of solid garbage are produced each day. This research was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to evaluate the variables affecting proper waste disposal in the community. The concept of this study follows the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), which refers to the idea that human beings act rationally depending on their behavioral aspects. A total of 300 respondents from the community of San Jose were acquired through an online questionnaire. The findings revealed that environmental knowledge significantly influences environmental concerns while it affects personal values and environmental attitudes. Intention was affected by personal attitudes and convenience, which also had an impact on waste management behavior. The result of the study could aid government institutions and households in incorporating effective solid waste management practices within the community. It is crucial to implement proper waste disposal procedures, as inadequate municipal waste management can lead to detrimental impacts on the environment, human health, and urban living standards. The study highlights the importance of community participation in developing effective strategies and improving waste management behavior in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro.

The packaging industry's significant role in plastic production and environmental pollution underscores the need for more sustainable alternatives. Bioplastics emerge as a promising solution, yet consumer understanding of this innovative material often lags, particularly in emerging markets. This study thus aims to explore effective marketing strategies for communicating bioplastic packaging to shape consumer adoption and disposal practices in such markets. Through a case study approach, we examine the role of ecolabels as a marketing tool across key sectors of the bioplastic packaging supply chain. Drawing upon the signalling theory, we identify key characteristics of effective signals, including costly signalling, visibility, clarity, fitness, consistency and credibility, which should be integrated into a broader context of ecolabels design in order to encourage consumer adoption and responsible disposal. Our study also identifies instances where noises from the environment may have little impact and where communication gaps hinder feedback loops between consumers and producers.
