Who Knows, Cares and Acts for Sustainability in Times of Uncertainty? Demographic Differences in Perceived Knowledge, Concerns, and Pro‐Environmental Behaviors
In 2026, some years after the Covid‐19 pandemic and the related economic crisis, the global landscape remains profoundly unsettled. Geopolitical conflicts, such as the war between Russia and Ukraine and the Middle East conflicts, continue to drive instability, reshaping global priorities and challenges. At the same time, the intensifying climate emergency and rising environmental pressures are having increasingly severe consequences for human lif…
Government Subsidies for Industrial Symbiosis
Policy intervention can be a driver for industrial symbiosis (IS). However, given the wide variety of policy instruments available, policymakers should be guided in the policy design process to ensure that their intervention is effective and efficient. In this paper, we propose an agent‐based (AB) model intended to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of different subsidy programs for IS. The model depicts the development of an ISN where the g…
Highlighting That Green Products Derive From Waste
In the current market landscape, many innovative eco‐friendly materials are being developed. Plant‐based leather is being used recently in the production of fashion accessories. Based on the rational perspective in explaining sustainable consumer behavior, this study investigates the effect of green perceived utility, perceived performance, and general risks on the purchase intention and the willingness to pay more for fashion accessories made of…
The Role of Supply Chain Capabilities in Linking Circular Economy Practices and Supply Chain Resilience
This study examines how circular economy ( CE ) practices relate to supply chain resilience (SCRES), focusing on the capability‐based mechanisms through which CE strategies may influence resilience outcomes. Drawing on survey data from 125 Italian firms engaged in CE initiatives, we employ partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS‐SEM) to test the proposed relationships and complement this analysis with fuzzy‐set qualitative compar…
From atoms to allies
Hubs for Circularity (H4C) represent collaborative networks, where multiple stakeholders work together to implement circular industrial practices, such as waste reduction, resource sharing, and material reuse, supporting the EU’s sustainability goals outlined in the Green Deal and Circular Economy Action Plan. Despite the acknowledged importance of communication and knowledge sharing in industrial symbiosis (IS), the specific social structures un…
Driving the change
This paper investigates the determinants influencing consumer adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) across three European markets characterized by distinct socio-economic contexts and varying levels of EV market maturity. We develop a theoretical model based on Theory of Planned Behavior. A survey was conducted involving 737 consumers in Germany, Italy, and Norway. The data was analyzed using structural equation modeling, multigroup analys…
Mapping sustainable options in the fashion industry
The fashion industry accounts for large impacts on the environment and social welfare, both on the consumers' and companies' sides. This study systematically reviews the literature on sustainable consumption in the fashion industry, clarifying sustainable fashion's meaning. Existing sustainable fashion solutions are investigated from consumers' behavior perspective and classified into three consumption phases, that is, (pre‐)purchase, use, and po…
What drives the success of online platforms for industrial symbiosis? An agent-based model
This paper aims to investigate which factors affect companies’ choice of subscription to an online platform designed to support the creation of industrial symbiosis (IS) relationships, and the effectiveness of such platform from the economic and environmental perspectives. The analyzed platform finds optimal symbiotic partners by pursuing an economic objective and proposes the fair sharing of the additional costs of IS, enabling subscribers to av…
How the energy procurement switching strategies (driven by the Russia-Ukraine conflict) impact the global sustainability? The global sustainability dashboard
Green products from industrial symbiosis
Industrial symbiosis (IS) can support the transition towards the circular economy: accordingly, wastes produced by a company can be used by other companies as an alternative to raw materials or directly used to create new products, sold on B2C markets. This paper aims at analyzing consumers' perception towards electronic products (e.g., laptops, smartphones, tablets) generated via the IS approach (hereafter mentioned as “IS products”) and underst…
Investigating the antecedents of consumer behavioral intention for sustainable fashion products
The heavy environmental effect of the fashion industry, along with the growing interest of consumers in sustainability issues, is driving this industry towards greater ecological integrity through the development of sustainable clothing. This study investigates which factors influence green consumer behavioral intention in the clothing industry, through a survey of 2.694 Italian consumers. We study the influence of consumer's environmental concer…
Designing regional industrial symbiosis networks
Adopting industrial symbiosis (IS) is a key strategy for pursuing sustainable development and developing circular economy. In this regard, a powerful approach is promoting the development of regional business networks of IS relationships (ISNs), such as the well‐known Kalundborg ISN in Denmark. Nevertheless, a formalized method supporting the development of effective ISNs at the regional level is still lacking in the literature and practice. This…
Is Covid‐19 changing sustainable consumer behavior? A survey of Italian consumers
Since the beginning of 2020, the world has been hit by the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus that causes Covid‐19. To hamper its spread, policymakers of many countries have put in place strong countermeasures, including lockdowns, that have led to significant changes in people's lifestyles and daily routines. This article aims at assessing the changes caused by Covid‐19 in sustainable consumer behavior under multiple perspectives, contributing to advance knowledg…
Energy-based industrial symbiosis
Nowadays, industrial symbiosis (IS) is recognized as a key strategy to support the transition toward the circular economy. IS deals with the (re)use of wastes produced by a production process as a substitute for traditional production inputs of other traditionally disengaged processes. In this context, this paper provides a systematic literature review on the energy-based IS approach, i.e., IS synergies aimed at reducing the amount of energy requ…
Ecosystem indicators for measuring industrial symbiosis
Industrial symbiosis (IS) is a collaborative approach among firms involving physical exchanges of materials, energy, and wastes, which creates economic advantages for firms and environmental benefits for the society. In this paper, we adopt an ecosystem approach to conceptualize the network of firms involved in IS relationships (ISN), in terms of organisms (firms), functions (waste exchange), and services (environmental benefits), and provide new…
National culture's influence on environmental performance of countries
The effect of national culture on country environmental performance has received attention during the past few years. However, previous studies considered a subset of cultural dimensions, focused on diverse environmental performance measures, provided contrasting results, and did not adequately investigated the mediating effects of socio‐economic variables. In this study, we investigate the impact of all cultural dimensions (power distance, indiv…
