Increasing attention is being paid to packaging, a component of product in the marketing mix. It is being recognized that packaging is important not only from a functional viewpoint, but also in terms of marketing to the customer. One of the constraints on packaging is environmental issues. These are becoming increasingly important internationally, from both a legislative and consumer perspective. In this study the perceptions of the members of the packaging value chain as regards the functional, marketing and environmental issues surrounding packaging are examined. It is found that functional aspects appear to be the most important, followed by marketing aspects. Environmental concerns are rated as unimportant. This is despite evidence that these issues should be regarded with increasing importance based on international trends. However, the relative importance of environmental packaging issues is greatest amongst raw-material suppliers, followed by packaging and fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) suppliers. Retailers have the least interest.

Introduction. Nowadays, the market reforms on the consumer market are being actively discussed from the viewpoint of numerous dysfunctions that used to emerge and continue emerging. Therefore, there is a logical question of how the regulations in Ukraine have contributed thereto, and how efficient, logical, and well-timed they have been, etc. Hence, the complex methodological research of the system of public regulation of the domestic consumer goods market and finding the directions of improving its regulation are of urgent need. The paper aims to determine the methodological foundations of researching the domestic consumer goods market and the grounds of its regulation. Results. The paper analyzes a range of scientific publications that can be the basis to making a conclusion that determining the scientific paradigm that has the worldview function and emphasizes the most essential problems of the issue examined by the scientists is among the important methodological aspects of scientific opinions’ research. The paper defines that the nature of methodological research lies in determining the functional practices and trends of the development of certain economic phenomena, and in our case – the development of the domestic consumer goods market and its regulation tools. The forming of the developed domestic consumer goods market is confirmed to be totally impossible without the scientific substantiation of the selection of priority development directions in determining the goals and tasks of the public policy directed at adjusting the market processes. In such cases, the scientific diagnostics of the domestic consumer goods market condition should be applied, and on this basis, the processes on the market should be monitored. Conclusions. The paper suggests a logical-structural scheme to research the domestic consumer goods market and approaches to its regulation. The theoretical-analytical and recommending sections are allocated to disclose our view over the contemporary conceptual and methodological approaches and to offer suggestions on the improvement of the set of tools of domestic consumer goods market’s public regulation. Key words: domestic market, consumer goods, methodology, economic research, public regulation.

In this paper I attempt to develop understanding of commodification and consumption by relating ideas from the moral philosophy of Adam Smith and Alasdair MacIntyre to recent research on consumer culture by Pierre Bourdieu and Daniel Miller. I focus on how commodification affects how people value things, practices, themselves, and others. It is argued that, although traditional critiques of consumer culture have often been both elitist and weakly supported empirically, some of their normative distinctions can be used to illuminate more positive aspects of consumption. In particular, the distinction between internal and external goods enables us to appreciate that much consumption is not primarily a form of status seeking but a means to the development of skills, achievements, commitments, and relationships which have value regardless of whether they bring participants external rewards. Although Bourdieu's analysis of inequalities and the struggles of the social field misses this distinction, use of it helps to illuminate how the struggles are for internal goods as well as for status and power. Finally, by reference to recent work by Miller on altruistic shopping, I question the common related criticism of consumer culture as individualistic, and conclude.

Modern society faces new challenges due to the development of technology, economy, level of consumption. The article deals with the legal aspects of counteraction to the strategy of unscrupulous manufacturers for deliberate programming of technical defects of the goods, leading to the need to replace it immediately at the end of the warranty period. This strategy has significant implications for public health, social and environmental security. The objectives of the work are studying the actual problems of planned obsolescence of products, the search for its essence, principles and features. The author identifies legislative and law enforcement practice formed by the European Union and different countries in this area. The analysis of law in other countries allows to state the tendency of shift of emphasis from private law methods of protection of consumer and social rights to public law methods, to wider use of a number of coercive instruments. Rethinking the balance of private, public and public interests led to the author’s proposal to develop a holistic concept of legal regulation of civil law relations. As a result of the article, the directions for improving various branches of law in order to counteract the planned obsolescence of goods are proposed.

Topicality. The actuality of the problem of market management of environmentally friendly goods today is caused by objective conditions of development of production and market. Aspects of environmentally-oriented marketing are associated with the rapid development of technologies and processes that reduce the impact on the environment, and therefore, with the accelerated formation of the market of environmentally friendly goods. This requires appropriate development of marketing technologies for the market management of environmentally friendly goods. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to develop theoretical, methodological and practical applications, which should justify marketing technologies for the market management of environmentally friendly goods. As well as considering principles and approaches to assess the impact of environmental factors on market segmentation in the marketing process and, of course, e-market research on the current situation (conjuncture). Research results. The necessity of forming a system of markets is considered, taking into account the segmentation of the market of environmental goods, as well as such categories as environmental needs, ecological shortages and inquiries. The ecological consumer properties of goods are described, such as: the degree of attractiveness of the product, which corresponds to environmental standards for the buyer; the priority of products and goods with the trademark "environmentally friendly"; compliance with the requirements, considered in the legislative documents of the state level, and local legislation; conducting radioecological control of goods; the ability to meet the current and future needs of potential buyers, taking into account the environmental features of goods in the conditions of the adoption of a number of laws and regulations on environmental protection activities; necessity of modification of production in accordance with the revealed requirements of buyers concerning pollution of the environment. The research of a number of issues connected with ecological consumer properties of goods is offered. Conclusions. The results of complex studies can determine the most promising markets for sellers. To this end, the information received is systematized in a number of ways, taking into account the environmental components that allow the selection of priority social and environmental features markets and their segments.

Environmental issues are a priority, since global environmental problem has become perceived as a threat to humanity’s existence. The necessity and timeliness of conceptual marketing approaches revision are dictated by the formation of new economy sector of ecological goods and services, and the environmentally responsible marketing concept is being formed. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the environmental factor influence on consumer behavior motives and formation of consumer demand for environmental products within the frame of environmentally responsible marketing. Changes in the external marketing environmentlead to changes in the internal environment of the market entity, causing its environmental development. The recorded tendencies and changes in the marketing environment form the marketing ecological imperative, which takes into account the environmental factor in marketing activity of the market player. The research allows to determine the position of ecologically responsible marketing as a basic marketing concept that defines the philosophy and technology of marketing management by socio-economic systems regardless the sphere of the market entity activity in conditions of ecological imperative. The analysis shows that the modern Ukrainian society began to strive not only to purchase and consume desired products, but also to improve and to preserve the ecological situation. In a market environment, the specific marketing activity feature, which changes under the influence of the factor of ecological situation quality deterioration, adds new tasks, concomitant to main classical. The development of the enterprise environmental management system will promote the implementation of environment-oriented goals: formalization of the environmental products concept, environmental products market development, certification programs development, preservation of the environment quality, formation of ecologically oriented consciousness of the society. Considering the understanding of the needs, the motivational aspects of ecologically oriented consumer behavior in the market are stated in the form of the system based on the need for the security. Through the development of eco-responsible marketing tools and their step-by-step introduction into enterprise activity, it becomes possible to develop the ecological products market through the implementation of proactive environmental activity and satisfaction of individual consumer demand.

Using past measures of consumer feedback, the aim of the present study was to construct a consumer opinion survey for use in community health centre settings; to pilot the survey instrument across a number of community health centres; and to validate the instrument. A total of 950 consumers attending one of six targeted services (physiotherapy, dental, podiatry, counselling/social work, dietetics, and speech pathology) across four northern metropolitan community health centres in Victoria were invited to participate. Returned surveys were analysed using principal component analysis and the extracted scales were tested for internal consistency and validity. Out of the 950 surveys distributed 471 were returned (response rate of 50%). The survey instrument was found to measure consumer opinion regarding satisfaction with centre environment and satisfaction with service provision. The centre environment scale consisted of one factor, with a Cronbach alpha of .80. The service provision scale consisted of two factors: 'aspects of the service provider' and 'benefits of the visit'. Reliability for the total scale was .93. The two scales correlated moderately with a validity item measuring overall satisfaction. The Primary Health Care Consumer Opinion Survey is a reliable and valid measure, which provides the potential for the establishment of norms to assess consumer opinion.

The essence and ideology of sustainable fashion are analyzed and the basic principles of conscious fashion are determined: the use of ecological materials and fabrics obtained from recycled waste; saving all the resources needed for clothing production; as well as changing society's attitude towards clothing. It is noted that among the means of influence available to the designer is consumer behavior, which is a key success factor for great "environmental benefits" - the consumer becomes interested in aspects of origin of materials and manufacture, country of origin, recyclability or recycling. Peculiarities of consumption of fashionable goods by young people of generations Y and Z, which is aimed at environmental friendliness, encouragement and creation of more ethical design, are considered. Research has shown that conscious fashion is a choice, information, cultural diversity and identity.

In modern conditions, transport and logistics systems perform an integrating function, allow countries to realize their transit potential, and provide innovative development of regional and national economies. World practice shows that the leadership in competition in the international economy is given to countries whose complex sources of development are the effective use of logistics methods. Transport and logistics systems allow you to reduce all types of costs related to the management of material and related flows, costs of transportation, warehousing, order management, procurement, packaging and other logistics costs. The reduction of transport and logistics costs, in turn, frees up financial resources, directing them to investments in innovative developments, the purchase of fixed assets, training and retraining of personnel, marketing activities and other ways of strengthening the competitiveness of enterprises. Today, logistics is a system of organizing the delivery of goods from the producer to the consumer, and its main purpose is the coordination of various stages of transportation. The development of the transport network, which led to the strengthening of trade relations between states, as well as the progressive processes of globalization, brings such a direction as international logistics to the fore. International logistics promotes the development of foreign economic activity of enterprises, optimizes purchasing, transport, warehouse and other processes. Transportation plays a crucial role in handling logistics. A review of the current state indicates that a powerful system requires a clear logistics system and proper tools and methods to communicate production procedures.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.
A global increase in environmental awareness and concern about issues such as climate change, resource depletion and higher levels of pollution are having a greater influence on the purchasing decisions and product selection of consumers. In a response to this trend and growing demand for eco-friendly products, manufacturers introduced goods suggested to have a less harmful impact on the environment. A growing number of environmental logos and unsupported claims caused consumer scepticism and created a need for certified environmental logos, which led to the introduction of eco-labels. To date, South Africa does not have a certified eco-label in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) non-food category. The application of eco-labels on products would allow South African consumers to identify eco-friendly options and incentivise producers to develop goods that are less harmful to the environment. In order to establish the requirements for a successful eco-labelling scheme, a literature review was conducted. Based on the findings, a consumer survey was carried out to determine whether there is a demand for eco-labelled goods in South Africa and whether an eco-labelling project will have a significant effect on consumer behaviour in the FMCG non-food category. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that consumers are concerned about the environment and that they will support eco-friendly goods, if the quality and performance are as good as regular products. The survey, however, revealed that consumers are of the opinion that eco-friendly products are not as effective as regular products. The analysis also found that consumers are price sensitive and not willing to pay a large premium for eco-friendly attributes. These are the two main obstacles hindering South African consumers to move to more sustainable consumption patterns. In the survey, consumers also indicated a need for an independent third party to verify environmental claims, manage eco-labels and audit producers to ensure that eco-friendly goods meet acceptable sustainability and quality standards.

Conventionally, efforts of combating climate change mainly focus on reducing emissions at production sources, such as factories, offices or other organizational-based entities. While this approach has served its purposes for years, the environmental impacts of consumer goods, which cause cross-border carbon emission are very difficult to be managed. This study investigated the feasibilities of an alternative solution to combat climate change using the concept of product carbon footprint (PCF) labelling in Hong Kong. PCF describes the total set of greenhouse gases caused by a product over its whole life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal. The concept of PCF is prevalent in regions such as Europe, Japan and Taiwan, where PCF information is shown as labels on products’ packaging to help consumers distinguish more eco-friendly products. These PCF labels, based on overseas pioneer experience, have shown enormous market potential and environmental benefits. Hong Kong has yet to establish such labelling system despite these benefits. The aim of the study is to investigate the feasibilities of introducing PCF labelling in Hong Kong and identify the opportunities and difficulties lie ahead. Five main types of feasibilities, namely technical, economic, legal, operational and scheduling feasibilities were considered in the study and in-depth review was carried out on each one. Literature review, questionnaire for general public and interviews with stakeholders were undertaken to understand existing PCF labelling schemes and obtain first-hand information from stakeholders of different perspectives. By analyzing the questionnaire and interview results, the study revealed that short-term feasibilities of introducing PCF labelling in Hong Kong is medium. Recommendations were made in accordance to each type of feasibilities to promote the wider adoption of PCF labelling in the future.

A presente tese é um trabalho de pesquisa em design e sustentabilidade, que visa expor uma estratégia para utilização das emoções no desenvolvimento de produtos sustentáveis. Inicialmente houve a descrição de alguns dos principais métodos e teorias que cercam o design e a sustentabilidade, e como lacunas entre eles permitem que os vários tipos da obsolescência contaminem o processo de desenvolvimento, comercio e utilização dos produtos, causando inúmeros danos aos consumidores, sociedade e meio ambiente. O capítulo 4 monta um texto que envolve o consumo como um elemento de construção e significação cultural, estando presente na sociedade como um sistema complexo de signos que intermedia e complementa relações sociais. Este capítulo é a ponte para aproximar as emoções com o design e a sustentabilidade, cujas teorizações seguem nos capítulos 5 e 6. As emoções envolvem uma construção teórica que parte de conceituações amplas, entre a filosofia e a sociologia, para em seguida mergulhar especificamente sobre suas manifestações fisiológicas nos indivíduos. As considerações do neurocientista António Damásio, que descreve as emoções como principal elemento na tomada de decisões de cada indivíduo, são especialmente importantes, pois nelas repousam muitas das características semânticas que balizam nossas tomadas de decisões, inclusive aquelas que envolvem os atos de consumo. Todas as teorizações neste trabalho são um plano epistemológico que abre caminhos para uma nova exploração em design. Esta exploração é a exposição empírica de uma estratégia de utilização das emoções para o desenvolvimento de produtos sustentáveis, tendo como meta principal se contrapor à obsolescência. Para isto, foram utilizados objetos que carregam o poder de despertar grandes apelos emocionais em seus proprietários. Realizou-se uma técnica mista que iniciou com entrevistas semiabertas de seleção. Em seguida nove voluntários selecionados, em entrevistas abertas, descreveram relatos de suas vidas com o intermédio de seus objetos emocionais. A partir dos relatos destas entrevistas, fez-se correlações identificando as semelhanças que se agrupavam por influência cultural. A última etapa de experimentos passou para testes quantitativos de eletroencefalograma, mensurando e comparando as manifestações fisiológicas que os objetos emocionais causam em seus proprietários. Os resultados destes testes possibilitaram a indicação de aprofundamentos para as etapas qualitativas da pesquisa, bem como apontamentos diretos para uma estratégia que utilize as emoções para o desenvolvimento de produtos sustentáveis e menos suscetíveis ao descarte prematuro.
The present thesis is a research work in design and sustainability, which aims to expose a strategy for the use of emotions in the development of sustainable products. Initially there was a description of some of the main methods and theories surrounding the design and sustainability, and how they allow gaps between the various types of obsolescence contaminate the process of development, trade and use of the products, causing severe damage to consumers, and society environment. Chapter 4 rides a text that involves the consumption as an element of construction and cultural significance, being present in society as a complex system of signs that complements intermediate and social relations. This chapter is a bridge to bring the emotions with the design and sustainability, whose theories follow in chapters 5 and 6. Emotions involve a theoretical construct that part of broader conceptualizations, between philosophy and sociology, to then delve specifically about their physiological manifestations in individuals. The considerations of neuroscientist Antonio Damásio, who describes the emotions as the main element in the decision-making of each individual, are especially important because many of them lie semantic features that guide our decision making, including those involving acts of consumption. All theories in this work is an epistemological level that opens new avenues for design exploration. This exploration is exposure empirical strategy of using emotions to the development of sustainable products, having as main goal to counteract obsolescence. For this, we used objects that carry the power to awaken great emotional appeals for their owners. We conducted a mixed technique that began with open-ended interviews selection. Then nine volunteers selected in open interviews, described reports of their lives with their objects through emotional. From the reports of these interviews, it became correlations identifying the similarities were grouped by cultural influence. The last step of experiments passed tests for quantitative electroencephalography, measuring and comparing the physiological manifestations that cause emotional objects in their owners. The results of these tests allowed the indication for deepening the steps of qualitative research as well as direct pointers to a strategy that uses emotions to the development of sustainable products and less susceptible to premature disposal.

In recent times increasing emphasis has been placed on the important role that corporations must play in the creation of greener economies. This has given rise to greater corporate environmental disclosure and reporting, and a wealth of research into the link between sustainability reporting and financial and environmental business performance. Notwithstanding this, it has been noted that corporate responses to environmental sustainability issues are highly variable, and very little research has been conducted to determine where businesses focus their environmental sustainability efforts and to what extent they have made measureable progress in this regard. The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the implementation of sustainability initiatives across a variety of fast moving consumer goods companies, including large multinational organisations, privately owned South African and publically traded JSE listed companies. This was achieved through the evaluation and scoring of an environmental self-assessment questionnaire distributed annually over a three year period between 2012 and 2014. In total, the survey, which covered a cross section of business relevant environmental issues, allowed for the profiling of 851 company responses. Scoring of these responses was based on a defined matrix with a grading system of 0 – 6. Results showed that overall, larger companies appear to be making significantly better progress when it comes to tackling environmental issues than their smaller privately owned competitors. Of the product categories investigated, the sustainability performance of liquor suppliers was the best while transport suppliers scored significantly lower than their peers. Publically listed JSE-listed companies and large multinational companies had similar sustainability performance to one another but both these groups performed significantly better than their privately owned South African competitors. Of those supplier Groups surveyed, JSE listed companies were the only business Group who showed significant year-on-year improvement in performance. An evaluation of scores achieved across the different environmental issues covered revealed that suppliers indicated they performed best in the areas of waste minimisation, operational energy mitigation and sustainable product design, while they made least progress when it came to climate change mitigation, sustainability reporting and biodiversity conservation. Results suggest that overall: companies made most progress on environmental issues that offered the greatest potential for increasing revenues or reducing operating costs; large public corporations performed significantly better than privately owned companies when it came to tackling environmental sustainability issues; and despite increasing emphasis being placed on transitioning to more sustainable business models, only one group of suppliers showed a measurable improvement in sustainability performance over the course of the study.

The 21st century has seen a massive explosion in the applications of nanotechnology. These applications cover all areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The advantage of nanotechnology comes from the fact that it has revolutionized the miniaturizations of many products that are useful to the well-being of society. A typical nanotechnology application example in biomedical engineering is its usage as drug eluting interfaces for implantable devices, such as vascular stents, orthopedic implants, and dental implants. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the various applications of nanotechnology to biomedical engineering. Some of the future nanotechnology applications in biomedical engineering include healthcare/medical, consumer medical goods, environmental, and electronics. The impact of nanotechnology applications to biomedical engineering is in many ways enabling humans to survive different ailments that otherwise could have been very difficult to manage. The safety aspects in the applications of nanotechnology to biomedical engineering are also examined.
