Remanufacturing for the Circular Economy: An Examination of Consumer Switching Behavior
TLDR
This article found that consumers have a poor opinion of remanufactured products and are typically not prepared to adopt them, which is an important moderating factor predicting consumer switching behavior to remanufacturing products.Abstract:
For the circular economy to be tenable, consumers need to not only return products after use, but also purchase products that are remanufactured. However, research finds that consumers have a poor opinion of remanufactured products and are typically not prepared to adopt them. Thus, development of the circular economy is dependent upon deeper understanding of consumers’ attitudes and behaviors. Research typically considers either micro-level or macro-level factors when assessing consumer perceptions of remanufactured products. The current research incorporates macro-level factors of price, government incentives and environmental benefits with the moderating influence of micro-level consumer attitudes to examine consumers’ intention to switch from purchasing new products to remanufactured products. The findings suggest that a consumer's attitude toward remanufactured products is an important moderating factor predicting consumer switching behavior to remanufactured products.

Circular economy and consumer acceptance: An exploratory study in East and Southeast Asia
Adrian T.H. Kuah,Pengji Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the exploratory study of 584 Asian consumers yielded four findings: (1) Asia generates a large amount of e-waste, but the level of awareness of circular economy facilities and programs is limited; (2) although consumers are willing to try sharing platforms, they are concerned about being exploited or cheated; (3) consumer acceptance of recycled and remanufactured products in Asia is low because of their concern of reliability and quality; and (4) consumers are still willing to buy these products in the future because of environmental and cost-consciousness.

TL;DR: This article used subjective estimates and extrapolations in an analysis of mail survey data from published studies for estimates of the magnitude of bias and found that the use of extrapolation led to substantial improvements over a strategy of not using extrapolation.
