“…Moreover, perceived simplicity and benefit certainty were the factors that affected behavior indirectly by mediating intentions. Another review study performed by Testa et al (2020) classified the green purchase antecedents into seven different groups, and 91 variables were identified [30]. However, no conclusions were drawn about the major positive and negative determinants of GPI and GPB.…”

“…Moreover, based on the ideas of ElHaffar et al (2020), available reviews of green intention-behavior gap studies are either outdated (Kollmuss and Agyeman (2002)) [26], limited to one specific sector (Antimova et al (2012)) [27], or do not take methodology and paradigm into consideration (Butterfield and O'Fallon (2005); Joshi and Rahman (2015); Peattie (2010)) [8,28,29]. Furthermore, in the systematic review by Testa et al (2020), they mainly focused on the publications in environmental, management, economics, decision, and social sciences as well as agriculture, biology, psychology, and energy that adopted a survey-based quantitative approach to examine the determinants of GPB [30], and they limited their review to the period of 2000 to 2018. Moreover, they excluded studies that examined green or organic food products.…”

“…Moreover, they excluded studies that examined green or organic food products. Therefore, several drivers in the field of green food consumption and newly added determinants to the GPI and GPB literature in the period of 2019 to 2021 were missed in the review by Testa et al (2020) [30]; therefore, a research gap is created due to the conflicting causational effects of the same determinant on the final consumption behavior in relation to different kinds of products.…”

Determinants That Influence Green Product Purchase Intention and Behavior: A Literature Review and Guiding Framework

2021

Environmental deterioration brought about by consumers’ non-feasible utilization pattern is putting a pressure on the environment and is obstructing sustainable development. To hinder this impact and stimulate a more sustainable economic growth, one solution is to lessen or move utilization patterns from conventional products to eco-friendly products. The authors conducted a review study of green purchase behavioral research across the 6-year period from 2015 to 2021, identifying 108 studies that met our inclusion criteria. The current review distinguishes different pervasive facilitators, motives, and obstacles influencing consumers’ decision-making process towards environmentally friendly products, and it gives potential clarifications for contradictions found in green purchase behavior (GPB). The paper reveals the main determinants of consumer’s GPB, and as a result of the review, 212 variables that affect green purchase intention (GPI) were identified. Moreover, 135 determinants that influence GPB were recorded. In this way, besides contributing to the literature, it will assist policymakers in formulating and employing strategies to persuade eco-friendly purchasing, and it will give an opportunity for marketers to generate proper marketing strategies for drawing in clients and guaranteeing ideal sales.

“…This leads to financial constraints on an organisation which strives to sell CE-compatible products, resulting in a lack of economic incentives to undergo the change process towards a CE. The same is true for the agricultural sector, where the circular product consumption has not increased in the same way that the public opinion on circular products appears to have [66].…”

“…This applies to leaders and members of the organisation as well as to stakeholders such as investors, suppliers, and customers. Despite the fact that, in general, the public opinion has become more concerned with the environmental impact of agricultural practices, this rise in environmental concern has not resulted in a parallel growth of circular product consumption, which can explain a lack of environmental awareness in the agriculture field as a whole [66]. b) Lack of commitment In general, change only happens when there is a committed group that leads the transition.…”

The ‘3CE2CE’ Framework—Change Management Towards a Circular Economy: Opportunities for Agribusiness

For the transition towards a circular economy (CE), organisations have to be prepared to adapt to major changes. Thus, the concept and implementation of change management (CM) will be essential to an organisation’s success during this transformative period. Studies have shown that organisational CE barriers were more significant than individual CE barriers. To overcome such obstacles, the most appropriate set of managerial practices should be carefully considered. These barriers also have the potential to influence the agricultural sector, which seeks to adopt more sustainable ways of production. The goal of this paper is to propose a solution framework based on CM strategies to overcome organisational challenges posed by a CE, especially for agribusinesses. To accomplish this objectively, a systematic literature review and a content analysis were conducted. The common errors in CM within the implementation process and the main CE barriers were identified and classified. An in-depth analysis of the issue’s roots led to a solid understanding of how to tackle such CM problems. This paper presents an overview of organisational CE barriers verified in the agricultural context, the common errors in CM, and the correlation between these findings. The two areas were then combined in a matrix that shows the connection between common errors in CM errors and CE barriers. Based on this result, a solution framework called 3CE2CE was developed that provides a step-by-step guide on how organisations can successfully undergo transformation processes towards a CE with the principles of CM.

Vending is an important sector in the daily lives of many people, and coffee is the most frequently consumed product in the European market. Like many other sectors, vending is responding to the challenge of sustainable development by taking various actions, such as offering increasingly ecologically sound coffee while maintaining/improving its quality. These are factors that consumers care greatly about. Although the scientific literature on coffee is vast, few studies have focused on the vending sector. The aim of the present study was to fill this gap by performing a choice experiment in Italy to understand which attributes (sustainable or nonsustainable) Italian consumers prioritized when purchasing coffee via vending machines. The results showed that the physical quality of coffee was paramount, while sustainability (although important) played a secondary role. The circularity of cups was the least considered aspect. The data obtained for this study contribute to academic knowledge of consumer behavior regarding the purchase of sustainable coffee at vending machines and can be used as a starting point for the development of strategies in line with sustainability principles [EconLit Citations: C9, Q01].
