“…Some studies point out that such pressures directly improve organizations’ environmental performance ( Daddi et al., 2016 ; Phan and Baird, 2015 ; Singh et al., 2018 ). Jain et al. (2020) point out that such pressures influence organizations’ intentions toward recycling.…”

Highlights This study empirically assesses the determinants of organizations’ intentions and organizations’ behaviors towards a circular economy for plastics. Attitudes and perceived behavioral control of corporate decision makers are the strongest predictors of organizations’ intentions and organizations’ behaviors respectively. Most organizations are willing to contribute to a circular economy for plastics, but they are failing to do so due to some critical barriers. This study suggests some measures to overcome this intention-behavior gap. Government or relevant institutions should provide incentives, disseminate knowledge, and establish networking platforms.

“…Properly processed the construction and demolition waste, rise to good quality products, for which a market of great potential has emerged. Local prices, the availability and demand of natural aggregates, as well as the economic situation of the country and the development of the construction industry, are important factors that influence the competitiveness and acceptance of recycled aggregates [ 10 , 12 , 13 ].…”

The construction sector generates 14,000 t/d of construction waste in Mexico City, these materials do not have real applications and end up accumulating in landfills. This work, the objective of which was to analyze the physicochemical and mineralogical properties of soil and construction waste used in the manufacture of Recoblocks, is divided in five stages. First, the excavation material was submitted to field tests. Physical and chemical tests were then carried out on construction waste. Subsequently, the optimal mixture for making Recoblocks was determined. Next, Recoblocks were evaluated and compared with blocks made with water only, without mucilage of Opuntia ficus, and finally a feasibility study was performed. The X-ray diffraction study showed the presence of plagioclase, minerals that improve bending resistance, hardness, durability, as well as resistance to stress in a material. Compared to blocks manufactured without mucilage, the use of Opuntia ficus mucilage increased the compressive strength of the material by 59%, as well as the erodibility. Recoblocks are an environmentally friendly option because they are based on recycled materials, dried under the sun, which eliminates the use of brick oven. The production cost per unit is just USD 0.19, so it is a viable option as a building material.

“…Researchers applying a structure-oriented theory emphasize the external environment or the structure of society. Regulative, normative and cultural institutions provide stability in society, which can predict sustainable behaviour [52]. Consumers behave sustainably or unsustainably because they want to create a positive image for the institutions and groups they belong to [53].…”

Factors Influencing Sustainable Purchasing Behaviour of Remanufactured Robotic Lawn Mowers

The lack of consumer acceptance for remanufactured products is preventing the transition towards sustainable consumption. When knowledge about remanufacturing among consumers is limited, more insight is required into the consumer’s expectations. The purpose of this paper is to examine the consumer’s expectations and willingness to engage in sustainable purchasing behaviour when considering buying remanufactured robotic lawn mowers. The theory of planned behaviour and variables from green marketing help form the research model, which was tested empirically using survey data from 118 samples. The results indicate that sustainable purchasing behaviour of remanufactured robotic lawn mowers is primarily influenced by the consumer’s attitude and evaluation of the remanufactured product, and less so by external influences. Consumers expecting high product quality, low price, and low risk, had a positive evaluation and were therefore more willing to engage in sustainable purchasing behaviour of remanufactured robotic lawn mowers. More concisely, consumers value performance and price reductions, and worry about the time the remanufactured robotic lawn mower remains functional. Environmental knowledge among consumers is sufficient but cannot be fully translated into positive evaluations and sustainable purchases of remanufactured robotic lawn mowers. This research provides guidance for how remanufacturing firms can improve their circular marketing and remanufacturing strategies.
