Abstract

The increasing global emphasis on sustainability has significantly influenced consumer behaviour towards green products. However, the specific factors driving green purchase intention (GPI) remain insufficiently explored in the literature. This study examines the determinants of GPI among Muslim consumers in Banjarmasin, focusing on three critical variables: green product knowledge (GPK), plastic ban policy (PBP), and religiosity. A quantitative research approach was utilized, involving data collection through a structured questionnaire administered to 465 respondents aged 18 and older with prior experience purchasing green products. The study employed PLS-SEM with SmartPLS version 3 for the analysis. The results is insignificantly influence GPK on GPI statistically. In a different way, PBP shows a significant effect on GPI, highlighting the effectiveness of regulatory measures to encourage sustainable behaviour. Additionally, religiosity shows a significant positive influence on GPI, indicating that moral and ethical considerations rooted in religious beliefs are crucial in shaping consumer attitudes towards green purchasing. This research enriches the literature by merging regulatory, cognitive, and cultural viewpoints to deepen understanding of green consumer behaviour. It also provides actionable insights for policymakers and marketers to encourage sustainable consumption practices.
