“…Supply chain managers in procurement, sales and production will benefit from the findings of this study. Similar to studies by (Imran et al, 2020;Jemai et al, 2020;Tayyab et al, 2020;Habib et al, 2021), it is possible to develop an importance classification for customers and suppliers in a supply chain for bio-based apparel.…”

Bioplastics are a potential alternative to conventional plastics when it comes to reducing the use of the fossil resource of crude oil. There have been so far very few studies on the consumption of bio-based apparel and consumer preferences relating to it. Within this study, an online survey was conducted with 1,673 participants that is representative of the German population over the age of 16, including a choice-based consumer experiment with a bio-based rain jacket. Using latent class analysis, two clusters of consumers (39% of respondents) were identified with acceptance of moderate prices for such bio-based products. The other 61% of consumers showed preferences for the lowest prices of the tested bio-based rain jacket. A discriminant analysis revealed that the intention to purchase bio-based apparel, the Green Consumer Value and subjective norms of bio-based apparel were the strongest significant factors when distinguishing between consumer groups of bio-based apparel with a “preference for a low price” and those showing “acceptance of a moderate price.” This study helps to better illuminate the heterogeneity of consumer preferences for bio-based apparel related to pricing strategies and supports building up of a supply chain for such products.

“…Growing environmental, social and ethical concerns have led to increased pressures from consumer organizations, environmental advocacy groups and policy makers for agri-food companies to deal with their supply chains [4]. The increasing awareness regarding environmental effects has attracted the attention of many researchers recently to focus more on studying and investigating green supply-chain management (GSCM) in various fields and sectors [5]. The particular requirements set in agriculture and food logistics ask for improving the conditions of transportation and storage of perishable goods, affecting public health, as well as for information in real-time to avoid harmful consequences and waste [6].…”

Green agri-food supply chains are increasingly attracting research interest, owing to their potential capacity for resilience against recent crises (e.g., financial, COVID-19) as well as end-consumers’ concerns on sustainability issues. In this context, this paper aims to explore the relationship between green supply chain management practices and three different performance aspects, namely, supply chain, green (environmental) and business performance, and controlling for environmental dynamism. Field research was conducted through a structured questionnaire contacted to 134 executives of firms in the agri-food sector in Greece. The results reveal that information sharing, logistics networking and transportation are the most powerful factors that impact sustainable, business and supply chain performance. In addition, green packaging is related to financial and social performance aspects. Interestingly, green warehousing and logistics emissions failed to establish any relationship with performance outcomes. The conclusions and recommendations drawn in the present study are expected to provide meaningful guidance for the supply chain decision-making process, as logistics managers are becoming increasingly aware of exploiting all available resources, knowhow and competitive advantages for attaining sustainable performance.

“…In green supply chain management, government organizations play an important role by providing subsidy to supply chain members [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. However, the impact of government subsidy on manufacturers' green technology investment decisions and strategic collusion between horizontal members under chain-to-chain competition have not been well understood in the literature.…”

“…We consider five scenarios to investigate the characteristics of optimal decisions under horizontal collusion and vertical integration on each firm's profit, green quality levels, and social welfare. In Scenario UDLD, two upstream manufacturers make wholesale pricing and green quality decisions and two retailers set their respective retail prices by maximizing their respective profit functions [26]. We consider the scenario as a benchmark.…”

This paper investigates the impact of the subsidy and horizontal strategic cooperation on a green supply chain where two competing manufacturers distribute substitutable green products through exclusive retailers. Models are formulated in three-stage game structures in five different scenarios, where the government organization determines optimal subsidy by pursuing social welfare maximization. Both manufacturers invest in improving green quality levels of products. The study aims to explore the advantage of vertical integration and strategic collusion from the perspective of green supply chain practice in the presence of subsidy. The key contributions from the present study indicate that under competition, members of both supply chains are able to receive higher profits through horizontal collusion, but green quality levels of the product remain suboptimal. If upstream manufacturers cooperate, government subsidy does not necessarily improve product quality level, and the amount of government expenditure increased substantially. By comparing outcomes where members are vertically integrated with scenarios where members make strategic collusion, we found that the former might outperform by later. Cross-price sensitivity appears as a significant parameter affecting supply chain members’ performance and the amount of government expenditure. Cooperation between members at the horizontal level is a more robust strategic measure than vertical integration if consumers are highly price-sensitive.
