ClearSustainable Menstrual Hygiene Practices and Their Environmental and Health Implications: A Systematic Review in the Indonesian Context
This systematic review examines menstrual hygiene practices in Indonesia and their environmental impact. It highlights that disposable menstrual products contribute to microplastic pollution, and that switching to sustainable alternatives could reduce both environmental contamination and potential health risks from plastic exposure.
Role of Consumer Attitudes and Policies in Increasing Sustainable Buying Habits in the Fashion Industry
Researchers surveyed consumers across diverse regions and demographics to assess attitudes toward sustainable fashion purchasing, finding that policies, financial barriers, geographic setting, and physical barriers all influence willingness to choose sustainable over fast fashion products.
Fast fashion revolution: Unveiling the path to sustainable style in the era of fast fashion
Researchers examined the relationship between fashion orientation and fast fashion purchasing behavior, including how attitudes toward sustainable clothing consumption moderate these choices. They found that fashion orientation strongly influences purchase intention and actual buying behavior, but that sustainable clothing awareness can temper fast fashion consumption. The study highlights the environmental costs of fast fashion, including microplastic-generating textile waste, and calls for greater consumer education.
Mapping sustainable options in the fashion industry: A systematic literature review and a future research agenda
This systematic review examined 187 studies on sustainable practices in the fashion industry, which is a major contributor to microplastic pollution through synthetic textiles. Researchers classified sustainable solutions across the purchase, use, and disposal phases of clothing and identified key gaps in current knowledge. The study suggests that addressing fashion industry practices is critical for reducing textile-related microplastic contamination in the environment.
A Study on the Awareness and Perception towards Sustainable Fashion
This paper is not directly relevant to microplastics; it surveys university students' awareness and attitudes toward sustainable fashion and the broader environmental impacts of the textile industry, including waste and water contamination.
Exploring The Reasons Of Indonesian Young Adult Consumers Toward Sustainably Packaged Food & Beverages Product
This study explored why Indonesian young adult consumers choose sustainably packaged food and beverage products, identifying environmental awareness and product value as key drivers of purchasing decisions.
Toward More-Than-Human Understandings of Sport and the Environment: A New Materialist Analysis of Everyday Fitness Practices
This new materialist analysis of fitness practices explores how sport intersects with environmental harm, highlighting microplastic pollution from synthetic sportswear as an overlooked consequence of everyday fitness consumption.
Trends and Gaps in Sustainable Fashion Research: a Bibliometric Analysis
Researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis of 764 sustainable and fast fashion articles published between 2007 and March 2025 using Web of Science, applying co-citation, co-occurrence, and clustering techniques to map thematic trends, finding rapid research growth after 2015 and accelerated output post-2020 across environmental science, business, consumer studies, and textile engineering.
Examining the Relationship Between Label Awareness and Eco-Consciousness in Clothing Consumption
Researchers surveyed 102 Singaporean consumers on eco-label familiarity, knowledge, and eco-consciousness in the clothing industry, finding that while female consumers reported significantly higher eco-consciousness than males, label familiarity and knowledge did not differ by gender. A small but significant positive correlation between label familiarity and eco-consciousness was identified, while the attitude-behavior gap in sustainable fashion remained persistent.
Sustainability trends and gaps in the textile, apparel and fashion industries
Researchers conducted a 20-year systematic review of sustainability in the fashion and textile industry, identifying consumer behavior, circular economy practices, and supply chain transparency as the three main research themes. The review highlights that synthetic textile fibers — a major source of microplastic pollution — are embedded in a complex industry that still lacks coherent sustainability standards across its global supply chains.
Analysis of Students' Sustainability Awareness of the Environment
This paper is not relevant to microplastics research — it assesses the environmental sustainability awareness of high school students in West Java, Indonesia, using a descriptive quantitative educational research approach.
Plastic pollution research in Indonesia: State of science and future research directions.
This meta-analysis reviews the state of plastic pollution research in Indonesia, a country identified as one of the top contributors to global plastic waste. The findings highlight significant gaps in data on microplastic contamination in Indonesian waters and ecosystems, which matters because plastic pollution from this region affects global ocean health and the seafood supply chain.
A Systematic Review On Consumer Behavior toward Plastic Consumption In Asian Countries
This systematic review summarizes research on consumer attitudes and behaviors toward plastic use across Asian countries. Understanding what drives people to use or avoid plastic products is important for reducing microplastic pollution at its source, since everyday plastic consumption is the upstream cause of the microplastic contamination found in our food, water, and bodies.
Microplastic Pollution in Indonesia: The Contribution of Human Activity to the Abundance of Microplastics
This systematic review of Indonesian microplastic research found that coastal and marine sediments have the highest microplastic abundances, driven by widespread use of cheap single-use plastics and poor waste management across urban and rural areas.
Consumer Preferences in Germany for Bio-Based Apparel With Low and Moderate Prices, and the Influence of Specific Factors in Distinguishing Between These Groups
Researchers surveyed 1,673 German consumers about preferences for bio-based apparel, identifying two consumer clusters accepting moderate price premiums for bio-based rain jackets and finding that sustainability motivation and price sensitivity were key factors distinguishing acceptance groups.
Exploring Consumer Engagement in Response to Sustainable Social Media Content and Brand Identity of Fashion Brands
This marketing study examines how sustainable social media content and brand identity affect consumer engagement with fashion brands. While not a science paper, consumer behavior toward sustainable fashion is relevant to demand for lower-microfiber synthetic textiles.
Sustainable Decision-Making in the Fashion Industry : How to influence the fashion industry to adopt more sustainable packaging solutions
This study examined how different actors in the fashion industry make sustainability decisions, noting that the industry is responsible for an estimated 20-35% of microplastics in the ocean from synthetic fiber shedding. The study explores how manufacturers, retailers, and consumers can be influenced to make more environmentally responsible choices.
SUSTAINABLE FASHION INDUSTRY: Why do we need a switch towards conscious consumption?
This thesis examines the fashion industry's environmental and social harms, including its significant contribution to microplastic pollution through synthetic textile washing, and argues for a shift toward more conscious consumer behavior. Fast fashion is one of the largest sources of synthetic microfibers entering waterways globally.
Research on the Intention to Purchase of Fabric Saints : Based on the Theory of Consumption Value, Green Purchase Intention, and Green Purchase Behaviour
