The ecological, economic, and social implications of this sector have fostered an increase in consumer awareness, prompting a demand for a more circular system.

However, the consumer perceptions of products made from recycled materials in the fashion industry remains relatively unexplored, necessitating an examination of potential barriers. By employing both model analysis and cluster analysis techniques, this research sheds light on the primary variables that significantly influence consumer attitudes and purchase intentions towards such products with a particular emphasis on performance risk. Moreover, the identification of four distinct consumer groups holds crucial implications for the development of targeted marketing strategies.Publication Open Access Rebranding Barbie: analyzing the 2023 live-action film's promotional impact and public perception(IGI Global, 2025) Condearena González, Itxaso; Aramendia Muneta, María Elena; Gestión de Empresas; Enpresen Kudeaketa; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBEThis chapter analyzes the promotional campaign of the 2023 live- action Barbie film through qualitative and quantitative methods, examining the brand's history and industry leadership.
