“…Moreover, the efficiency and effectiveness of CP strategies depends on the institutional framework where they are introduced (Van Berkel 1999; Geng et al 2010b;Zhang et al 2013;Liu and Bai 2014) and on the capacity and farsightedness of decision makers to develop and implement proactive, integrated policies and strategies stimulating societies to manage all resources in more sustainable ways ( Schnitzer and Ulgiati 2007;Bonilla et al, 2009).…”

“…Geng et al (2013) evidence that large financial resources are invested in CE pilot projects involving the application of clean production techniques in specific sectors. As the number of enterprises in China is very high, in the order of 40 million, strong efforts are needed towards the removal of existing barriers to CP implementation for a higher CE diffusion (Yap 2005;Geng et al 2010b;Zhang et al 2013).…”

“…However, as an exception, SN emerged as the strongest predictor of university students' recycling intentions in Hong Kong [47]. Nevertheless, there are some examples in other contexts where SN emerged as the strongest predictor of school students' intentions to use bioenergy in India [59], Taiwanese citizens' intentions to visit green hotels [60], and Chinese entrepreneurs' intentions to adopt cleaner production technologies [61]. There is hardly any study, which has applied the TPB framework to investigate recycling intentions among the urban masses in India although there are some studies, which applied the TPB framework to explain Indian consumers' intentions to purchase green and environmentally sustainable products [62][63][64][65].…”

India is currently facing a mounting challenge related to municipal waste management, due to an increasing urban population, and their high consumption lifestyles. India also has the world's highest number of young people in the 10-24 years age group. The study applied the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model to predict school students' recycling intentions in Delhi, the capital of India and one of the highest producers of municipal solid wastes in the country. Data were collected from a school in New Delhi and the sample size consisted of 272 students from 9th and 10th grades. The TPB model explained 56% of the variance in the students' intentions to recycling. The predictor 'subjective norm' appeared to have the strongest impact on the students' recycling intentions, followed by 'attitude' and 'perceived behavioural control'. It indicated that social factors are driving the Indian youth's recycling intentions. It is important that the policymakers promote recycling as a social trend in India and provide adequate facilities to the public so that they can participate in recycling activities without facing difficulties. Schools also have a role in increasing students' awareness of recycling and motivating them to participate in household waste management practices.

“…Cleaner production has been adopted by China as a primary tool to fight against industrial pollution [64]. During the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015), the energy consumption per unit of GDP fell by approximately 16% compared with the 1.03 tce in 2010 [65].…”

Life cycle analysis on wood-based panels in terms of CO 2 flux can be used to quantitatively assess the climate change contributions of these materials. In this study, the annual CO 2 flux between 1990 and 2015 was calculated through gate-to-gate life cycle analysis of wood-based panels. As implied by the energy consumption standards, China's wood-based panels used to be carbon sources during the period 1990-2007, with the average contribution to CO 2 emissions of 9.20 Mt/year. The implementation of new standards and the development of Cleaner production technologies in China, decreased the energy consumption per panel. China's wood-based panels acted as a carbon sink between 2008 and 2015, with the average contribution to CO 2 removal of 31.71 Mt/year. Plywood produced the largest contributions to the emission and removal of CO 2 , and was followed by fiberboard and particleboard. China's wood-based panels, with good prospects and strong demands projected in the future, can potentially contribute to climate change mitigation.
