Changing consumer behaviour is key for a cirular future!"
In their talk (presented by Jesse Weltevreden), Nicole Stofberg and Jesse Weltevreden emphasized that "Changing consumer behavior is key for a circular future!" They shared results from a comprehensive survey of Dutch consumers, highlighting a growing concern for sustainability amidst rising overall consumption. The survey revealed varying levels of engagement in circular behaviors, such as rethinking, reusing, and repairing. They stressed the need for action across four key phases of the product lifecycle: design, sales, use, and recycling. The presentation underscored the critical role marketers must play in driving sustainable e-commerce to resolve this dilemma and promote circular consumption practices.
