Until death do us part? In-depth insights into Dutch consumers' considerations about product lifetimes and lifetime extension

Consumer behaviour in the context of circular economy: a systematic literature review

“…We analysed twenty-eight articles on consumer behaviour regarding CBMs that were conducted in Austria, Italy, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia (western), Sweden, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Some of these studies analysed consumer behaviour in relation to specific products, being the most common ones clothing (Cesarina Mason et al, 2022;Fuchs and Hovemann, 2022;Hur, 2020;Laitala et al, 2021;Rogers et al, 2021;Singh et al, 2019;Terzioğlu, 2021), electronics -including smartphones - (Arman and Mark-Herbert, 2022;van den Berge et al, 2023;Bigerna et al, 2021;Bovea et al, 2017Bovea et al, , 2018Martinho et al, 2017;Ratay, 2022), household appliances (Bovea et al, 2017(Bovea et al, , 2018Gulserliler et al, 2022;Kabel et al, 2020;Laitala et al, 2021;Rogers et al, 2021;Terzioğlu, 2021), and bicycles (Arman and Mark-Herbert, 2022;D'Agostin et al, 2020;Rogers et al, 2021;Vafadarnikjoo et al, 2018). As presented in Figure 2 below, most studies cover consumer behaviour in repair, followed by second-hand and take-back systems of recovery.…”

“…Finally, a warranty for second-hand products is fundamental, especially when compared to new products (Kannan et al, 2022;Vafadarnikjoo et al, 2018;Wieser and Tröger, 2018). The following factors enable second-hand in this scenario: detailed product information; commitment from the seller; access to smartphones for online transactions; possibility of payment upon delivery; logistics support; mobile banking service; sharing of happy photos with the second-hand products (Arman and Mark-Herbert, 2022). Ownership transfer should be easy to pass from one user to another (Selvefors et al, 2019).…”

Consumer practices regarding the purchase, use, willingness to repair, and disposal of small electric and electronic equipment: A Spanish survey on kettles

“…Studies such as Van den Berge et al. (2023) or Bovea et al. (2018) analyze consumers’ responses to repair/lifetime product labels.…”

“…France was the first European country to implement repair labeling (Ministère de la Transition Écologique, 2021). Van den Berge et al (2023) or Bovea et al (2018) analyze consumers' responses to repair/lifetime product labels. The former focused on analyzing the possible utility and content of a label related to the lifetime of the product, while the latter was focused on designing icons for different circular aspects of a product.…”
