Abstract
| The growing concerns about environmental decimation have given rise to a new approach called “The Circular Economy”, with the focus on introducing innovative and new methods of responsible production, consumption, and disposal. This is also aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG), particularly goal number twelfth where the focus is on responsible production and consumption. In marketing, there is only a limited number of studies conducted to explore and investigate the circular economy from a marketing perceptive. The present study, therefore, attempts to investigate some inevitable factors with their impact on consumer purchase intention. For this purpose, the theory of planned behaviour is adapted with the addition of two more factors related to the circular economy, which are convenience/ availability, and environmental impact, as extracted from the literature to examine their effect on consumer purchase intention. Data were collected from 377 consumers of the circular products. Complex statistical techniques like exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling with confirmatory factor analysis and hypotheses testing were used to analyse the data. The findings revealed that subjective norm, attitude, and environmental impact are the most influential factors toward consumer purchase intention of circular products. These findings will help policy-makers devise strategies that are not only sustainable and aligned with the philosophy of the circular economy but will also ensure positive consumer behaviour. |
