The Role of Ecolabeling in Green Marketing: A Consumer Perspective | Chapter 5 | Leading the Charge: A Guide to Management, Entrepreneurship and Technology in the Dynamic Business Landscape Edition 1

Aims: In this study the in-depth knowledge about how consumers perceive and are aware of the eco-labels in green marketing and how well these labels are effective in nature [1]. Eco-labels can bring out a positive perception in people towards the environment. In this study, a descriptive analysis is conducted by understanding the effectiveness of ecolabelling and we also come across how the dynamics towards eco-labelling has made a difference in the FMCG or fast-moving consumer goods. We also understand how consumer buying behaviour changes towards eco-labelled products. Non-probability sampling and survey were done using a questionnaire. The research took place in Bangalore and the duration to complete this research paper was around 30 days. A mixed methodology is used. Through this study, we understand people’s choices and their perception towards the eco-labels and their awareness about the eco-labels and if given a choice would their preference still be the same or changed. The results obtained, eco-labels play a vital role in green marketing by serving as a trusted guide for environmentally conscious consumers. Through providing transparent information about the sustainability of products, eco-labels empower consumers to make informed choices aligned with their values [2]. Overall, eco-labels represent a valuable tool in promoting sustainability and influencing consumer behaviour towards more environmentally friendly purchasing decisions.

Bonny Light Crude Oil Degradative Potential of Species of Citrobacter: Detailed Study | Chapter 5 | Current Research Trends in Biological Science Vol. 2

Of the diverse hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria isolated from crude oil polluted IKO River estuarine and freshwater ecosystems, the bacterial isolate, ESW1 and FSW2 identified as Citrobacter amalonaticus strain – FSW2 and Citrobacter amalonaticus strain - ESW1.These efficiently degrade Bonny light crude oil sample recording 82.1 and 69.2% degradation respectively after 28 days of incubation. Biodegradability of the components of Bonny light crude oil was determined by gas chromatographic analysis. The chromatographic analysis after 28 days of incubation at 28°C also revealed that during the degradation of Bonny light crude oil, there was a decrease of the total hydrocarbon content (THC) from 10,906.9 mg L-1 to 1,947.4 mg L-1 and 3,357.9 mg L-1 respectively by FSW2 and ESW1. These results suggest that Citrobacter amalonaticus is a good candidate for microbial seeding of Bonny light crude oil polluted aquatic ecosystem.
