Research & science Do we choose an eco-friendly product to build a sustainable future? The role of brand authenticity on willingness to pay more, sustainability consciousness, and green purchase intention IntroductionGlobal consumerism is one of the main factors associated with ecological degradation, a central concern on the agenda of international leaders. Faced with this reality, environmentally conscious consumers are increasingly willing to buy products from brands that generate a positive impact on the scientific community, the environment, and society, making it a better place to live. In… Frontiers in Sustainability · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science Licensed to consume: how sustainable brand communications trigger moral licensing and what brands can do about it IntroductionSustainable brand communications are widely assumed to motivate greener consumer behavior. Yet this assumption overlooks moral licensing, whereby prior virtuous actions can elevate moral self-concept and increase the likelihood of subsequent ethically questionable behavior. This paper argues that sustainable brands act as underexamined contributors that shape how consumers interpret… Frontiers in Sustainability · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science A perspective on digitally enabled circular waste-to-resource systems integrating biomass engineering, pyrolysis, and adsorption The transition from linear waste management to circular resource systems is central to achieving global sustainability targets. This Perspective proposes an integrated waste-to-resource framework that converges biomass engineering, pyrolysis, and adsorption into a unified, systems-level platform for circularity. Within this framework, lignocellulosic and mixed waste streams are transformed into… Frontiers in Sustainability · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science Mapping the research landscape of SME success factors: a configurational perspective based on bibliometric evidence IntroductionSmall and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a central role in employment generation, innovation diffusion, local economic dynamism, and sustainable development. However, research on SME success remains fragmented, often emphasizing isolated determinants rather than integrated explanations. This study maps the scientific landscape of SME success factors from a configurational pers… Frontiers in Sustainability · 22 Jul 2026 Council news Electric vehicle charging in city council car parks reaches record high Drivers of electric vehicles across the Winchester district will see a new charging operator take over part of Winchester City Council's network, as demand for public Electric Vehicle (EV) charging reaches its highest level since they were introduced.
