“…Another transition criterion can be green consumption. This entirely depends on an individual’s altruistic and biospheric values, concern for the environment, and green lifestyle orientation (Berman Caggiano et al 2021 ).…”

“…For example, the individual prefers to buy LED lights instead of energy-consuming yellow lightbulbs. Here, the government and the industries developing these products must be entirely responsible for providing the correct green technologies to the consumers (Berman Caggiano et al 2021 ). Another sustainable transition can be made at the industrial level, i.e., green composites; as research continued to create strong polymers, many improvements have been observed through cultivating different practices.…”

This review gives concise information on green technology (GT) and Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0). Climate change has begun showing its impacts on the environment, and the change is real. The devastating COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected lives and the world from the deadly consequences at a social, economic, and environmental level. In order to balance this crisis, there is a need to transition toward green, sustainable forms of living and practices. We need green innovative technologies (GTI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to develop green, durable, biodegradable, and eco-friendly products for a sustainable future. GTI encompasses all innovations that contribute to developing significant products, services, or processes that lower environmental harm, impact, and worsening while augmenting natural resource utilization. Sensors are typically used in IoT environmental monitoring applications to aid ecological safety by nursing air or water quality, atmospheric or soil conditions, and even monitoring species’ movements and habitats. The industries and the governments are working together, have come up with solutions—the Green New Deal, carbon pricing, use of bio-based products as biopesticides, in biopharmaceuticals, green building materials, bio-based membrane filters for removing pollutants, bioenergy, biofuels and are essential for the green recovery of world economies. Environmental biotechnology, Green Chemical Engineering, more bio-based materials to separate pollutants, and product engineering of advanced materials and environmental economies are discussed here to pave the way toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the UN and achieve the much-needed IR 4.0 for a greener-balanced environment and a sustainable future.

“…It depends heavily on location and time (Howard and Sheth, 1969). Social, political, psychological and marketing factors all have a role in consumer decisions (Wood and Hayes, 2012; Caggiano et al , 2021). For the first time, a comprehensive framework for understanding and encouraging sustainable consumer behavior has been developed by White et al (2019).…”

Purpose The individual’s set of values determines how they make decisions and navigate various personal and professional issues. This study aims to investigate the substitutability of self-improvement values for self-transcendence values in fostering responsible consumption behaviors in society, using Schwartz’s Basic Human Values as the theoretical foundation. Design/methodology/approach Focus group discussions are used to investigate the research problem. Representative samples of 100 centennials or Generation Z college students (50 undergraduate and 50 postgraduate students) and 45 millennials or Generation Y working employees were chosen for focus group talks to ensure the findings’ correctness. Using thematic analysis, the information gathered was coded and analyzed manually. Findings The paper looks into whether people’s self-transcendence values play a role in getting them to act responsibly when they buy things. This study gives us much new information about how people’s values change and how people buy things in today’s world. Research limitations/implications This study explains how changing values make people want to be more responsible with their money and adds to the literature on sustainable consumption and consumer behavior. Using the lens of Schwartz’s Basic Human Values, this study extends the theoretical domain of responsible consumption. Originality/value The concept of sustainable consumption is essential for the next generation’s well-being. The sustainable development goal (SDG) 12 of responsible consumption is the focus of this study. This is a novel study to examine and understand factors that can facilitate consumers to consume responsibly to attain the SDGs. This is also one of the first studies on responsible consumption, using focus group discussions as the research methodology.

“…Moreover, many researchers provide support for the positive effect of altruistic and biospheric values on ethical consumption and oppose the effect of egoistic values (Berman Caggiano et al, 2021; Doran, 2009; Fernandes & Saraiva, 2022; Gkargkavouzi et al, 2019; Ladhari & Tchetgna, 2015; Osburg et al, 2019). The researchers view ethical consumption choices as emphasizing the benefit to others rather than oneself (White et al, 2019).…”

Marketing scholars have extensively examined the role of altruistic and ecological personal values and pro‐environmental identity in ethical consumption decisions. Conversely, the role of egoistic personal values and other identities has received scant attention from researchers. This research examines the role of altruistic, egoistic, and ecological personal values in triggering two types of identities: pro‐environmental and car‐authority. The effects of values and identities on personal norms and attitudes toward electric cars were also examined. A sample of Egyptian consumers responded to an electronic survey, and collected data were analyzed using SEM. The findings generally support the VIP framework, where biospheric values significantly affect pro‐environmental identity, and pro‐environmental identity affects personal norms. Furthermore, personal norms affected attitudes positively. A different path was obtained which starts with biospheric and altruistic values affecting car authority positively and negatively, respectively. Car authority identity was found to affect attitudes directly, although this is accepted at lower confidence levels. A discussion of research findings, implications, and research limitations were also presented.
