environmental performance (CEP) and corporate financial performance (CFP), there
is no generally accepted theoretical framework that explains the contradictory

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
