van den Berge, R.B.R. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Long-lasting electronic products contribute to a sustainable society; however, both expected and actual lifetimes are in decline. This research provides in-depth insights into consumers’ considerations about product lifetimes, barriers to extending lifetimes, and responses to a product lifetime label. Results of interviews (n = 22) with Dutch...journal article 2023

Miao, X. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Reusable packaging systems (RPSs) can significantly reduce single-use packaging waste. However, knowledge about consumers’ adoption of this kind of packaging is scarce. We adopted a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with consumers (n = 27) who had actually used an RPS and follow-up phone interviews to capture consumer behaviour...journal article 2023

Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Kobus, C.B.A. (author)This chapter describes ‘Understanding Values’, a course that teaches<br/>aspiring designers who aim to design for values to disentangle how different<br/>notions of value and values influence the design process, the design outcome,<br/>and how the outcome is evaluated. The course strives to make abstract values<br/>more tangible by asking...book chapter 2022

Wallner, T.S. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Refurbishment is a strategy to extend products’ lifetimes. However, refurbished products that are used intimately, such as personal care products, feel uncomfortable to use for consumers because they are perceived to be contaminated. In fifteen in-depth interviews, we explored why consumers have contamination concerns regarding a refurbished...conference paper 2022

Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)There is consensus that product lifetimes are generally decreasing. To create a sustainable society, the circular economy promotes slowing down the use of resources by lengthening product lifetimes. This is especially important for electronic products that are energy-intensive in their production phase and create vast amounts of waste after use....conference paper 2022

Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Gil-Pérez, I. (author)The question of prolonging the lifetime of food packages before they are disposed of has largely been overlooked. Yet, reusing packaging could bring interesting environmental benefits. In this research, we take a consumer perspective and test whether returnable packaging for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) has the potential to be adopted by...conference paper 2022

Polyportis, A. (author), Mugge, R. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author)This report provides an overview of the individual and contextual factors that have been found to influence households’ recycling and sorting of their waste, including recycling of plastic waste. It also unveils a comprehensive overview on how specific intervention strategies could encourage households to recycle more frequently and effectively....report 2022

van den Berge, R.B.R. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Product repair can decrease the ecological burden of consumer electronics<br/>by lengthening their lifetimes, but it is still too rarely practised by consumers. Design for behaviour change can motivate consumers to undertake repair activities. An increased level of repair self-efficacy can nudge consumers towards repair. In two experiments, we...conference paper 2022

Polyportis, A. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)The circular economy can reduce the environmental footprint of today’s consumption and close the resource loop through circular material flows. Companies are encouraged to fol- low circular principles, such as using more recycled plastic materials. This initiative seems promising; however, it will only be successful if consumers are willing to...journal article 2022

Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)This article explores consumers’ replacement of electronic products. A survey with 617 participants from Western Europe who had recently replaced their smartphones, vacuum cleaners, televisions or washing machines gives us insights on the age and state of products when replaced, repair considerations and the extent to which 19 reasons for...journal article 2022

Wallner, T.S. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)This research investigates how a durable and attractive product appearance, the perceived contamination risk, and consumers' environmental concern influence the purchase intentions of refurbished products. Consumers often have lower purchase intentions of refurbished products because they associate them with lower durability and fear that they...conference paper 2022

van den Berge, R.B.R. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Consumers’ expectations about product lifetimes have an influence on the actual lifetimes. Promoting repairability and a product lifetime label can potentially encourage consumers to extend product lifetimes. In this paper, we present in-depth insights in how consumers make estimations about product lifetimes, and their attitudes towards...conference paper 2022

Polyportis, A. (author), Mugge, R. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author)Consumers have a positive attitude towards products made from recycled materials; however, they frequently end up not purchasing them. To shed light on the factors that influence consumer preferences and acceptance of products made from recycled materials, a scoping review was conducted with the following objectives: (1) to explore which...review 2022

Wallner, T.S. (author), Snel, S. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Refurbishment is an effective circular strategy to lengthen a product’s lifetime. However, refurbished products that are intimately used, such as personal care products, cause a feeling of unease in consumers because they are perceived to be contaminated. In 15 in-depth online interviews with female users of intense pulsed light (IPL) device...journal article 2022

Wallner, T.S. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Refurbishment is an effective strategy to extend product lifetimes in a circular economy. However, consumers believe that refurbished products are contaminated with traces of prior use, which can be indicated by the appearance (e.g., scratches) or functionality (e.g., lower battery capacity) of refurbished products. This research explores...journal article 2022

van den Berge, R.B.R. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Many products are disposed of before they have reached the end of their functional life. New technological developments and trends in fashion seem to accelerate consumers’ replacement of products. From an environmental perspective, such early replacement is undesirable. In this paper, we emphasize that product replacement is not only based on...journal article 2021

Celhay, Franck (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Schoormans, J.P.L. (author)Styles in design have a strong evocative power for consumers and are commonly used by brands to communicate specific associations of ideas. This article describes the style elements and the associations related to a contemporary style in graphic design: the neo-retro style. We argue that this style is linked to the hipster subculture but used...journal article 2020

Wallner, T.S. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)The prior use and age make refurbished products a less desirable option because they are perceived to be of lower quality, to have a reduced performance and a less attractive appearance. This research investigates one strategy on how to enhance the appearance of refurbished products and thereby encourage circular consumption via refurbishment...journal article 2020

Krah, S.C. (author), Todorovic, T. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author)The environmental burden of packaging is huge. However, redesigning packaging to make it more sustainable without damaging its other functions is not always easy and can have a negative impact on consumers’ choice. In this paper, we adopt a user-perspective and test the effects of packaging appearance and a better eco-label on consumers’...conference paper 2019

Wallner, T.S. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R.

Currently, the<br/>prior use and age of refurbished products make them a less desirable option because they are perceived to be of lower quality, to have a...conference paper 2019
