Digital devices for sustainable consumption
In recent years, many digital tools, apps, and platforms have been developed with the aim of increasing the accessibility and convenience of new, more sustainable consumption practices and lifestyles.
Examples are car-sharing apps and digital platforms for food and energy provisioning. This research builds on theories of social practice to investigate how digital tools and apps can facilitate the emergence and embedding of sustainable practices in the domain of food, energy, or mobility.
