“…The performance of green consumption studies is expected to increase in the future (Liobikienė & Bernatonienė, ). Consequently, exploring particular types of attitudes and behaviors provides an overt illustration of the reasons beyond the strength of attitude–behavior relationships (Martinez, Castaneda, Marte, & Roxas, ), and dividing attitudes into these types is appropriate in order to understand and interpret precisely the attitudes’ effects (Sarigöllü, ).…”

“…Three decades after Hines and his colleagues () meta‐analysis, when Liobikienė and Bernatonienė () reviewed 80 papers that investigated GPB and green intentions, environmental attitude was the most frequent factor that was used in analyzing purchases of green products. In these studies, 38 articles were applied for purchasing the general green products, the SEA was covered by only 10 articles (26%); where the consumer's SEA toward purchasing green products was referred to the person's favor and judgment on behaviors and his/her desire to behave environmentally.…”

“…Still, consumer behavior toward sustainable consumption depends on reducing consumption, choosing more sustainable goods and services, reducing energy consumption, and moving toward buying from ecologically friendly companies (Peattie, ). Sustainable consumption seeks to reduce negative environmental effects; the key way to do this is by increasing the purchase of green product (Liobikienė & Bernatonienė, ). As a matter of fact, several studies have focused on consumers’ purchasing intentions and their behavior toward green products (Peattie, ), and numerous theories have been employed to examine sustainable consumption behavior, including: Value–Beliefs–Norms (VBN) Theory, Motivation–Opportunity–Ability (MOA) Theory, Social Cognitive Theory, Alphabet Theory, Attitude–Behavior–Context (ABC) Theory, Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), and Consumption Value Theory (Groening, Sarkis, & Zhu, ; Liobikienė & Bernatonienė, ; Phipps et al., ). …”

Environmental attitudes are considered to be important factors that influence sustainable consumption. Typically, attitudes fall into two main types: a general environmental attitude (GEA) and a specific environmental attitude (SEA). This study found that the effect of the SEA is stronger than the GEA in regard to sustainable consumption behavior. Also, when analyzing the purchasing behavior of green products, the SEA is a more appropriate and consistent predictor of behavior than the GEA. The study suggests a more operationalized and salient definition of the intended meaning of the term “environmental attitude,” and also advises researchers and marketing professionals to use a framework that contains both types of environmental attitudes in order to better understand what drives the attitude–behavior gap in green consumer behavior.

Consumer segmentation is an important tool for dealing with the often strongly differing consumer preferences in many markets for fast-moving consumer goods.Therefore, this study analyses the factors that can distinguish the different consumer segments for green all-purpose adhesives in Germany. On the basis of an online survey with 709 respondents, we performed a choice experiment and segmented consumers based on their preferences for this product. We identified six consumer segments of which in particular Green Consumer Value, Perceived Consumer Effectiveness and Trust separate eco-friendly consumers from the other groups. Our results give a deeper insight into the different consumer segments for green fastmoving consumer goods and facilitate the development of business and marketing strategies in a more targeted way.

Natural cosmetics offer the opportunity to reduce the environmental burden caused by the consumption of cosmetic products. This qualitative study analyzes the local range of natural cosmetics and related consumer perceptions and assessments in two case cities in Germany by applying a mixed‐method approach of store checks and the photovoice method. Results of the study show that there is only a limited match of the actual range and consumer perception for some types of retail businesses and a mismatch for product categories. Additionally, participants showed little awareness of the most common natural cosmetic certifications. Consumer assessments about the range of natural cosmetics were influenced by factors such as the arrangement of products in the shops and consumers' experience and knowledge about natural cosmetic brands. Retailers can use the study results in arranging natural cosmetics accordingly; companies can use it to emphasize branding, and policy‐makers can increase consumer knowledge about natural cosmetics.
