Summary: Non-profit organisations have developed labelling strategies to communicate the environmental impact of food products, helping consumers make more informed purchase decisions. However, the effectiveness of environmental food labelling on changing consumer behavior towards eco-friendly meat choices is unclear. This study investigates consumer attitudes towards an eco-score label on meat products and identifies drivers and barriers to its use through a mixed-methods design.

Summary: People's pro-environmental behaviors are influenced by both intrinsic motivation and external factors. The attribution of others' behavior as either intrinsically or extrinsically motivated affects the influence of descriptive norms on pro-environmental behavior. This study found that pro-environmental descriptive norms are more influential when attributing others' behavior as intrinsically motivated.

Summary: This article proposes alternative footwear consumption scenarios from a sustainability perspective and investigates the perspective of Indian consumers toward these scenarios. The research finds that the proposed scenarios are interesting and practical, but may be more feasible for expensive footwear products due to logistics costs. Additionally, there are cultural and hygiene-related issues that may hinder the adoption of certain alternative footwear consumption scenarios by Indian consumers.

Summary: In this study, biochar derived from cashew nut shells was added to vinyl ester-based composites to enhance their mechanical and thermal properties. The composite with 10% biochar showed significantly higher tensile strength and hardness compared to the neat vinyl ester. The composite with 15% biochar exhibited the highest impact and flexural strength. Thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated that the composite with 15% biochar had a yield percentage of approximately 45%. This study provides an overview of biochar applications and highlights the advantages of biomass wastes in producing strong and thermally stable composites.
