Tracking Changes in Consumer Spending
View
Australian Consumer and Retail Studies researchers in the Monash Business School conducted a pulse survey to understand changes in Australian consumer behavior due to cost-of-living increases. The study revealed shifts in spending habits, with a notable increase in conscious shopping, including preferences for lower-priced and environmentally-friendly products.

Exploring Challenges of Low-Waste Living
View
Faculty of Arts researchers have been exploring how Australian households can transition to low-waste living. The researchers interviewed consumers about their existing waste management practices, then invited them to each design and implement their own six-week household experiment to transition to a greener lifestyle. The results show that householders were keen to experiment with change, but that low-waste living is not easy.

Sustainable Construction Materials
View
Researchers from Monash University Malaysia’s School of Engineering are exploring how valorisation – the process of adding value to waste or byproducts by converting them into new products, energy, or other resources – can be used to develop novel forms of cement and improve the sustainability of construction.
