Funding information: International Visegrad Fund Grant Number IVF 22230264. This article presents the results of a survey conducted in the first half of 2023. A total of 812 questionnaires were obtained from current and potential consumers (individual and B2B) in the Visegrad countries. The survey's goal was to find out how consumers perceive and evaluate the quality and pro-ecological factors/challenges of the products of the electrical machinery industry, in the context of their declared personal purchases. Among other things, it sought to establish the actions consumers expect from manufacturers if they want to increase the market share of good-quality and environmentally friendly products. Improvements to the quality of products, with reductions in their negative environmental impact throughout their life cycle, were noticed most in Hungary and Poland. In all countries surveyed, consumers agreed most strongly with the statement that to increase the market share of good quality and environmentally friendly products, producers should enable recycling, disposal, and so on, and improve the availability of information.

This research explores environmentally friendly products made from coffee grounds and examines the trend of using these products. The results illustrate: (i) Those who have never/do not use products made from coffee grounds often do because the products are not yet widespread, but this group is likely to purchase and use the products in the future; (ii) For those who have used/ currently using these products, they mainly started using them recently and a high percentage said they would definitely continue to purchase and use these products; (iii) The percentage of environmentally friendly products from coffee grounds is primarily between 20% to less than 40% within the group of environmentally friendly products; (iv) Common products made from coffee grounds include biodegradable coffee straws and cosmetics, with social media being the primary source of product information; (v) The purpose of using environmentally friendly products is to support the trend of environmentally friendly products; (vi) The factor of others around them using environmentally friendly products has the greatest impact on the trend of using products made from coffee grounds; (vii) Consumers are most concerned about the hygiene and quality of environmentally friendly products made from coffee grounds. Based on the research results, the authors propose several short-term and long-term solutions for businesses producing and trading products from coffee grounds to encourage Vietnamese consumers to use these products.

A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "The federal government buys about $200 billion worth of goods and services each year. Through its purchasing decisions, the federal government can signal its commitment to preventing pollution, reducing solid waste, increasing recycling, and stimulating markets for environmentally friendly products. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to identify products made with recycled waste materials or solid waste by-products and to develop guidance for purchasing these products. The act also requires procuring agencies to establish programs for purchasing them. This report examines efforts by federal agencies to (1) implementation of RCRA requirements for procuring products with recycled content and (2) the purchase of environmentally preferable and bio-based products. EPA accelerated its efforts in the 1990s to identify recycled-content products, but the status of agencies' efforts to implement the RCRA purchasing requirements for these products is uncertain. The four major procuring agencies report that, for many reasons, their procurement practices have not changed to increase their purchases of environmentally preferable and bio-based products. One reason for the lack of change is that EPA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have been slow to develop and implement the programs."

The aim of the study was to investigate consumers' value perceptions of apparel companies' activities in regard to environmentally friendly apparel products. We recruited women living in USA to obtain 593 responses for statistical analysis of the data. The results suggest that the fit
between environmentally friendly products and a fast fashion brand is important for fashion consumers, and a good fit of the fast fashion brand with sustainability causes increases consumers' perceptions of the fit between the parent brand and the sustainable extension line. Consumers' perceptions
of cause-effectiveness value and monetary value of the extension line were each found to have an impact on both their purchase intention and their willingness to pay a premium price. These findings contribute to both academia and fast fashion retailers interested in corporate social responsibility.

The research aims to document the progress of the vegetable tanning of leather hides, involved in the making of local footwear products in Pakistan. The analysis is done specifically on the introduction of Khussa as an environmentally friendly product suitable for the needs of the present target groups. The overall empirical question is to decrease the amount of industrial pollution created in the manufacturing of leather goods through synthetic procedures, especially in the tanning of the leather skins. The observations are based on the pollution intensive environment and spatial urban issues related to trends in technological, economic, social, and political scenario in Pakistan. In the beginning of the paper vegetable tanning and its existence in the leather market of Pakistan will be discussed. Then the involvement of vegetable tanning and manual laborious skills involved in the making of Khussa will be observed to promote ecofriendly procedures in the footwear market. A SWAT analysis at the end of the paper will determine the positioning of Khussa in the present market and how it could be improvised to make it better in future.

Dünya topluluğunun küresel sürdürülebilirlik bilinci çağrısına yanıt vermek; çevresel boyutun yanı sıra, sosyal ve ekonomik boyutun da dâhil edilerek, sürece insani bilgi alanlarının entegrasyonunu da gerektirmektedir. Bu motivasyondan hareket ile çalışmanın temel amacı, yeşil pazarlama algısının çevreye duyarlı ürünleri satın almaya etkisini incelemek ve bu etkiye sürdürülebilir bilincin aracılık rolünü belirlemektir. Bu doğrultuda nicel bir araştırma temelinde elde edilen veriler, betimleyici istatistikler, faktör analizi, bağımsız örneklem t-testi ve tek yönlü varyans, (ANOVA) analizi, korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri, gibi istatistiksel teknikler ile analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular yeşil pazarlama algısının çevreye duyarlı satın alma faaliyeti üzerinde etkisinin olduğunu, ayrıca sürdürülebilir bilincin, yeşil pazarlama algısının çevreye duyarlı ürün satın alma üzerindeki etkisine kısmi aracılık etkisinin varlığına işaret etmektedir.
