Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, sustainability has emerged as a critical concern, engaging researchers, policymakers, and citizens across various domains. It addresses the pressing need to meet today's demands while ensuring that future generations can thrive within the planet's limits, a goal which requires a profound transformation of both production and consumption systems.
To foster sustainability, producers must adopt environmentally friendly production techniques, even if they come with higher costs. Effective communication and marketing strategies are essential for conveying these sustainable practices to consumers, who, in turn, need to embrace behavioral changes, opting for sustainable goods even at a premium price.
We invite contributions to the “New Tools for Assessing Sustainable Products” Special Issue, aiming to explore innovative approaches and insights in this vital area. We welcome all discussions and new research topics that can further our understanding and implementation of sustainability practices.
