  2. 6. Environmental and health hazards of chemicals in plastic polymers and products

    Author : Delilah Lithner; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : plastics; plastic products; plastic polymers; consumer products; environmental hazards; environment; health hazards; human health; hazard ranking; hazard assessment; chemical ranking; hazard identification; hazard classifications; hazardous chemicals; hazardous substances; toxic substances; monomers; polymers; toxicity; acute toxicity; toxicity tests; Daphnia magna; Toxicity Identification Evaluation; TIE; leaching; leachates; product leachates; leaching tests; plastic materials; plastic;

    Abstract : Plastics are extremely diverse in terms of chemical composition, properties and possible applications, and are widely distributed in the society and the environment. In the last 15 years the global annual production has doubled, reaching 245 million tons in 2008. READ MORE

  4. 7. Consumer knowledge and its implications for aspects of consumer purchasing behaviour in the case of information-intensive products

    Author : Debbie Vigar-Ellis; Esmail Salehi-Sangari; Leyland Pitt; Maria Styven Ek; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Consumer knowledge; Objective knowledge; Subjective knowledge; Opinion leadership; Exploratory acquisition; Variety-seeking behaviour; Wine; Information-intensive products;

    Abstract : The purpose of this research was to better understand consumer knowledge, its constituents, antecedents and consequences or implications for other consumer behaviours so as to assist wine marketers and marketers of other information-intensive products with their marketing strategy development.  Wine is a complex product difficult for consumers to evaluate particularly prior to purchase but it is also a difficult product for marketers.

  5. 8. Communicated consumer Co-creation : consumer response to consumer Co-creation in new product and service development

    Author : Karina Töndevold Liljedal; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis explores both participating and non-participating consumer responses to consumer co-creation in new product and service development. Participating consumers can ideate and select new products or services that the brand can offer to the market. To date, research has predominantly focused on participating consumers. READ MORE

  6. 9. Understanding the provision and processing of information for information-intensive products as a basis for market segmentation

    Author : Daniel Edward Hall; Terrence Brown; Leyland Pitt; Jan Kietzmann; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Information-intensive products; consumer information search; consumer information processing; marketing strategy; wine marketing; Industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Engineering and Management;

    Abstract : This thesis helps to address the gap in literature relating to the study of the provision of information to consumers, consumer information search behaviour and consumer information processing and choice behaviour relating to information-intensive products. Throughout the thesis, wine is taken as an example of an information-intensive product. READ MORE

  7. 10. Environmental fate of chemicals released from consumer products : Multimedia modelling strategies

    Author : Anna Palm Cousins; Michael McLachlan; Antonio Di Guardo; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Multimedia fate model; urban model; PBDEs; phthalate esters; indoor environment; emissions; exposure; BDE 209; DINP; DEHP; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis was to assess the environmental fate and transport of chemicals emitted from consumer products through the development and application of modelling tools. The following hypotheses were tested: i) Multimedia fate models can be applied in a multistage assessment process to emerging chemicals when limited knowledge exists to identify the likely environmental fate and to direct further research; ii) the indoor environment acts as a source of anthropogenic substances in consumer products to the outdoor environment; and iii) chemical removal pathways in the indoor environment are important for the fate of organic chemicals in densely populated areas.
