“…After data validation, 350 respondents aged 18-24 years remained in the sample, of which 113 were male (32.3%) and 237 were female (67.7%). The difficulty of conducting research on consumer behavior determined by the use of nutritional labels on a representative random sample led to the inclusion of people in the sample according to the criterion of relevance (Jurconi et al, 2022). The questionnaire used in the present study includes 24 questions aimed at identifying new food consumption habits and long-term food trends, with the last 5 questions outlining the socio-demographic profile of the respondents.…”

The advent of m-commerce has reinvented and simplified the shopping experience for the digital native generation. The following questions were the starting points for this research: is nutrition labeling important in purchase decisions? Could a new format for food nutrition labeling in m-commerce be the optimal way to inform the younger generation and enrich their shopping experience? This study continues the authors’ research on the food preferences of the younger generation by conducting a quantitative study on a sample of 364 students. The aim of the paper is to identify the factors that influence online food orders and the ways in which nutrition labeling can enhance consumers’ purchasing experiences and eating habits. The results show that nutrition facts play an important role in online purchases of new or unfamiliar foods. Control over one’s own diet and a higher income also make digital natives more interested in ordering food online. The use of a mobile format for nutrition labeling would be the necessary update for the food industry to turn nutrition data into added value, help consumers get a balanced diet and personalize nutritional needs, and for policymakers to adjust nutrition standards and policies toward healthier and more responsible consumption patterns.

“…Althougha few studies have examined the problems of sustainable packaging from a social perspective (Foschi & Bonoli, 2019), for instance, the asymmetrical communication mechanisms between firms and consumers (Baskoro et al, 2024), as well as the failures to fulfil market needs due to inadequate collaboration between different stakeholders along the supply chain (Farrukh & Sajjad, 2023;Guillard et al, 2018), these studies fail to address the attitude-behavioural gap to elevate the performance of sustainable packaging management practices (Testa et al, 2020). Further, the existing consumer research mostly examines generic consumer behaviours such as purchase intentions and willingness to pay for sustainable packaging (Jurconi et al, 2022;Liem et al, 2022;Schuermann & Woo, 2022); other pivotal aspects (e.g., consumer involvement in packaging design and stakeholder integration) lack empirical investigations. The inadequacy of social dimension measurement in sustainable packaging performance is due to its difficulty to be measured and quantified (Foschi & Bonoli, 2019).…”

“…Factors underlying consumers' sustainable packaging adoption Consumer attitudes and purchasing intentions of sustainable packaging are studied, covering predominantly food products (Bech-Larsen, 1996;Jurconi et al, 2022;Liem et al, 2022;Morgana Weber et al, 2021;Nguyen et al, 2020;Popovic et al, 2019;Santos et al, 2021;Schuermann & Woo, 2022), along with other product categories such as bottled water (De Marchi et al, 2020;Galati et al, 2022), apparel (Rausch et al, 2021) and personal care (Besier, 2015). Literature findings reveal that consumers' perceptions and behaviours towards sustainable packaging are influenced by both intrinsic and external factors.…”

“…In research domain 2 (i.e., management practices of sustainable packaging), while environmental and financial aspects are the major areas of investigation (Alfaro & Diaz, 2021; González‐Boubeta et al, 2018; Meherishi et al, 2021; Zailani et al, 2012), the social dimension lacks adequate scholarly attention (Bortolini et al, 2018; Sharma & Henriques, 2005). In the extant literature, social dimension investigation mostly focuses on generic consumers behaviours, for example, factors of sustainable packaging adoption, consumers perceptions, attitudes and purchase intentions (Jurconi et al, 2022; Liem et al, 2022; Morgana Weber et al, 2021; Nguyen et al, 2020; Popovic et al, 2019; Santos et al, 2021; Schuermann & Woo, 2022; Wei et al, 2017), in which the attitude‐behaviour gap has yet to be addressed. Other important social aspects of packaging (e.g., consumer involvement in sustainable packaging design and the effective collaboration along the supply chain for sustainable packaging management) lack empirical investigations.…”

Achieving sustainable development with sustainable packaging: A natural‐resource‐based view perspective

Sustainable packaging is a pivotal aspect of sustainable development, involving multi‐faceted issues such as stakeholder management and environmental policy compliance. Despite the efforts to find packaging solutions, the extant literature is largely fragmented, featuring a high level of heterogeneity among studies that spread across different disciplines, with the majority examining important packaging issues in isolation. A study that systematically consolidates findings of different important areas of sustainable packaging implementation is lacking. This challenges companies' adoption of research findings in business strategy development. Thus, this paper conducts a systematic literature review combining keyword co‐occurrence analysis, thematic analysis and qualitative content analysis to uncover major research domains, consolidate important findings and reveal unsolved research gaps, which are crucial to advancing sustainable packaging management. The findings reveal four major research domains: (1) sustainable packaging materials and properties, (2) management practices of sustainable packaging, (3) consumer behaviours towards sustainable packaging and (4) packaging waste management. Drawing on the natural‐resource‐based view (NRBV) theory and the review findings, this study proposes four future research directions: (1) identifying ways to enhance the commercialisation of sustainable packaging technological innovations, (2) uncovering reasons for insufficient social aspect investigation in sustainable packaging research, (3) exploring strategies to enhance stakeholder integration in sustainable packaging management and (4) examining contingency factors of packaging waste management effectiveness. The research agenda is important to provide practical and managerial insights for business strategy development in sustainable packaging to achieve pollution prevention, product stewardship and sustainable development capabilities to gain future growth and competitive advantage.

“…In addition to all these points, the concern for the development of ecological and sustainable food systems [37] and support for ecological entrepreneurship [38] offer the possibility of living in a less polluted environment, which facilitates the path towards a sustainable society in which the focus is on improving quality of life. In this sense, the current research aims to be an instrument for raising awareness among the population and government organizations regarding the negative influence of pollutants on the quality of life, which can lead to the creation of new environmental strategies and policies.…”

Air pollution is a serious problem in Romania, with the country ranking 13th among the most polluted countries in Europe in the 2021 World Air Quality Report. Despite the recognized impact of pollutants on health, there has been a lack of large-scale studies conducted in Romania. This study investigated the impact of air pollutants on patients with chronic respiratory, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, or metabolic diseases in Bucharest and its metropolitan area from 20 August 2018 to 1 June 2022. The daily limit values for particulate matter PM10 and PM2.5 were exceeded every month, especially during the cold season, with a decrease during the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. A significant statistical correlation was found between the monthly average values of PM2.5 and PM10 and hospitalizations for respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. A 10 µg/m3 increase in monthly average values resulted in a 40–60% increase in admissions for each type of pathology, translating to more than 2000 admissions for each pathology for the study period. This study highlights the urgent need for national and local measures to ensure a cleaner environment and enhance public health in Romania according to international regulations.
