Globalization as well as digitalization is changing not only the business formats but also the environmental scenario of this planet. It is quite imperative to move society towards sustainable consumption. As social networking sites are believed to be capable of influencing users’ perspectives, their role in creating sustainable consumption intentions must be explored. This research, thus, explores the impact of Environmental Awareness via Social Networking Sites (SNSs) and Environmental Concerns on Green Product Purchase Intention i.e. sustainable consumption intention. It also strives to uncover reasons for and against the green consumption of millennials. A total of 300 questionnaires were administered to students and young professionals of North Indian Tier-2 cities, out of which 281 were found to be complete and relevant for the study. The data analysis was done using the IBM SPSS Statistics v25 and IBM SPSS Amos v22 to explore the impact of Environmental Awareness via Social Media and Environmental Concerns on Green Product Purchase Intention. The results demonstrate that environmental concern as well as environmental awareness via SNSs have a significant impact on green product purchase intention. The study also highlights environmental sustainability (concern) and personal consciousness as reasons for green consumption and Unavailability is a reason against it regarding millennials. Moreover, the study suggests the tested variables to be considered for theory building or modification of existing ones like the Theory of Planned Behaviour, Technology Acceptance Model, etc.

“…Green material is the first approach to promote sustainability in the apparel sector. Organic textile materials are eco-friendly resources (e.g., organic fibers and leather) characterized renewability of the raw materials and ecological footprints of the resources that can produce sustainable apparel products (Khan & Islam, 2015;Hasan et al, 2022;Khairul Akter et al, 2022).

In recent years, green manufacturing practices have gained significant attention in academia and industry. The ready-made garments (RMG) industry, the second-top industrial polluter in the world, is incorporating green manufacturing practices to reduce the negative impacts on the environment of the RMG industry and sustainable development for experiencing increased pressures from the stakeholders. The RMG industry in Bangladesh, being the world's secondlargest garment exporter, has become the leading sector in the country's economy. However, the RMG industry is generating several environmental challenges like global warming, CO2 emissions, climate change, etc. Thus, the RMG sector in Bangladesh is adopting green manufacturing practices to save the environment and attain sustainable development. The available literature needs a structured analysis of the issues despite the significance of the green development area. This study aims to represent the framework of green approaches in the RMG sector of Bangladesh and to construct the linkages between green manufacturing tactics and sustainable development of the Apparel industry in the country. This study adopts a systematic literature review to explore green manufacturing strategies such as organic materials, green building, green innovation, green supply chain, social issues, etc., which businesses are integrating for sustainability.

With the emergence of environmental pollution and the excessive waste of resources, the traditional development of the pure pursuit of economic growth has encountered challenges. More and more people are advocating for the concept of sustainable development, which makes sustainable merchandising an urgent necessity. Clothing brands should adhere to the brand sustainability concept and sustainable management in the merchandising process, which can truly improve the competitiveness of the brand. For this reason, a series of studies on sustainable merchandising strategies has been conducted by apparel companies and academia. The existing reviews on sustainability aspects focus on material, recycling, and life-cycle aspects. However, less attention has been paid to the sustainable merchandising aspects of apparel. Therefore, this paper presents a systematic literature review of this topic. We summarize the relevant research on sustainable merchandising from a merchandising perspective and systematically review the relevant theories and cases of sustainable merchandising for the relatively blank field of sustainable brand merchandising for apparel. We have achieved the purpose of integrating the analysis of factors influencing sustainable merchandising, and merchandising strategies. Additionally, on this basis, we discuss how brands can combine social responsibility with merchandising to develop and enjoy the profit space brought by merchandising while assuming and promoting their own brand responsibility. This literature review is based on journal articles, book chapters, and conference papers from the Web of Science (WOS) database and Google Scholar. Through an in-depth analysis of the existing literature, this paper provides an overview of the research topic, the sustainable merchandising of apparel, from a merchandising perspective and discusses the shortcomings of existing merchandising strategies. The findings reveal that there are drawbacks to the current apparel merchandising strategies such as low feasibility, ignoring the driving power of the market, weak consumer awareness, consumer culture, and lack of government intervention and support. This has resulted in the slow development of clothing brands in the sustainable merchandising market. The results of this study provide direction for the development of future sustainable merchandising strategies. It guides policymakers and practitioners to develop relevant strategies for sustainable merchandising in order to provide better market space for sustainable merchandising of apparel.
