The current model of linear economy is causing accelerated consumption and an extensive use of natural resources that accentuates the effects of the current global environmental crisis. In this context, green products are becoming a key element in the transition to a sustainable consumption and production model. The main goal of this paper is to identify the factors predicting youth consumer satisfaction towards green products and to analyze the public perception of green brand products in Romania. Considering these goals, a questionnaire was developed and applied to 268 participants. The results show that a positive attitude towards green products and the level of information held by the consumers about them are significant predictors of green product satisfaction. Moreover, the importance of products being green significantly predicts the purchase of such products. Further implications and research directions are discussed towards the end.

Globally, a major shift is taking place to ensure sustainable development in the reuse and reduction of wood waste. The aim of this paper is to present a series of circularity practices on the recycling stage of wood waste from industrial processes. The environmental impact due to improper storage of wood waste mainly from the construction and related industries, demolition and renovation is global warming; due to greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation for the production of processed wood for this industry. Thus, the focus is on the low recovery rate of wood from the disposal phase. This review was drawn from a total of 94 articles that we analyzed from a database of selected keywords "circular economy", "recycling", "wood".

In the context of accelerating climate change and increasing pressure on natural resources, agriculture needs to rethink its operating models to ensure both sustainability and long-term stability. The circular economy (CE) is increasingly invoked as a possible solution, but its concrete contribution to the climate resilience of agricultural systems remains insufficiently integrated and often assessed in a fragmented manner. This study aims to analyze the role of circular strategies in strengthening the climate resilience of agriculture, through a systemic approach based on multiple indicators. The methodology is based on a structured and comparative analysis of recent scientific literature, complemented by a bibliometric and co-occurrence analysis of keywords, in order to identify the main research directions and evaluation methods used. The analyzed indicators cover dimensions related to soil, water, crop performance, energy and socio-economic resilience of farms. The results suggest that circular economy strategies may contribute to climate resilience through cumulative, and context-dependent effects, including improvements in soil quality, resource-use efficiency, and reduced dependence on external inputs. However, evidence regarding direct impacts on production stability and adaptive capacity remains heterogeneous and often indirect. The study contributes by proposing an integrated conceptual framework that highlights the systemic nature of climate resilience and its links to decarbonization pathways, providing a basis for future empirical research and policy development.

This study explores the ways we can evaluate green brands in the IT industry. It is important to have a method to assess the impact that these companies have on the environment and on ourselves. The model aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation framework, contributing to long-term value creation by aligning brand performance with sustainability and responsible practices. For this study, we will assess both financial indicators, such as the economic growth and economic efficiency of the brand, and non-financial indicators that deal with the environmental and social metrics. The proposed evaluation method is based on data collected through studies and literature reviews and through exploratory research, by applying a questionnaire. The study also examined key factors like energy efficiency, e-waste management, and environmental certifications. The analysis demonstrated the necessity for IT green brands to be evaluated, to have their environmental impact measured and assessed by a scoring system. Return on Green Equity (ROGE) and Return on Green Investment (GROI) are the indicators used with their corresponding mathematical formulas. The promotion of environmentally sustainable procedures for IT brands is the main goal as an evaluation model, more specifically, to distribute information to stakeholders and at the same time to support them in the transition towards efficient and sustainable production and consumption patterns. This study provides a structured framework for assessing the impact of green brands within the IT industry, using specific mathematical formulas. These indicators can influence consumer purchasing behavior, resulting in the development of a green and sustainable market, also encompassing macroeconomic impacts through changing buyer behavior.
