The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of consumer's ethical consumption consciousness and lifestyle on sustainable fashion. The data was analyzed by reliability analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, one-way ANOVA, Duncan's multiple range test, and multiple regression. The major results of this study were as follows. First, three factors of sustainable fashion were identified: eco-friendliness, recycling, and safety. Second, three factors of ethical consumption consciousness were identified: social ethics, environmental ethics, and public ethics. Based on these factors, the subjects were categorized into three clusters (high, middle, and low ethical consumption consciousness group). Third, four factors of life style were identified: pursuit of brand, appearance, cautiousness, and information. Based on these four factors, the subjects were categorized into three clusters (brand/appearance, cautiousness/information, and unconcerned group). Fourth, three factors of ethical consumption consciousness significantly influenced eco-friendliness factor of sustainable fashion. Also, the recycling factor of sustainable fashion was influenced by social ethics, environmental ethics, pursuit of brand, and pursuit of information. The safety factor of sustainable fashion was influenced by environmental ethics, public ethics, and pursuit of information. The results of this study suggest that practical and various environmental education need to be provided to consumers, because high environmental ethical consciousness consumers evaluated sustainable fashion positively. Additionally, accurate information on eco-friendliness, recycling, and safety of clothing products would need to be provided by fashion businesses through various routes, because those with information-pursuing lifestyle were found to have deep interests in sustainable fashion.

This study examined how middle-aged female consumers' environmental consciousness influences their attitudes and ethical purchasing behavior toward RUR (recycling, upcycling, and reuse) knit products. The research employs a survey method, targeting 30-40 year old women residing in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do Province. On-line and off-line data collection were conducted. The following conclusions emerged through statistical analyses, including factor analysis, cluster analysis, t-test, and regression analysis. Firstly, respondents' environmental consciousness variables were classified into two factors, delineating high and low environmental consciousness clusters, demonstrating significant differences between them. Secondly, the high environmental consciousness cluster exhibited more positive consumer attitudes and ethical purchasing behavior towards RUR knit products. Moreover, it was established that environmental pollution consciousness and eco-friendly product purchase consciousness influenced environmental consciousness on consumer attitudes and ethical purchasing behavior. Lastly, the study confirmed that consumer attitudes mediated environmental consciousness and ethical purchasing behavior. In conclusion, this research establishes a meaningful link between environmental consciousness, consumer attitudes, and ethical purchasing behavior in 30-40 year old women. Environmentally conscious groups positively influence attitudes toward RUR knitted fashion and promote ethical purchasing behavior. Consequently, it is recommended that knit fashion companies prioritize environmental consciousness and eco-friendly products in their marketing strategies. Furthermore, diversifying the application of RUR knit products, coupled with eco-friendly production techniques, can amplify their appeal and utility, ensuring a positive impact on consumer behavior.

의복 폐기와 같은 환경문제의 해결방안과 가정 경제를 도울 수 있는 방안으로 재활용 교복 시장의 활성화에 대한 인식이 높아지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 청소년의 교복 재활용 실태와 청소년들의 친환경 소비의식, 소비행동, 소비가치가 교복 재활용 태도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고 향후 교복 재활용 시장의 활성화를 위한 제언을 하고자 하였다. 이에 서울 경기 지역의 426명의 중 고등학교 여학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 청소년들의 60%이상이 교복 재활용 시장에 대해 찬성 의견을 보이고 있지만 실질적으로 재활용 교복 구매를 할 수 있는 기회가 적은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 청소년들의 친환경 소비의식, 소비행동, 소비가치는 재활용 교복에 대한 태도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 재활용 교복 시장 활성화를 위해서는 청소년들의 친환경 소비의식을 높이고, 친환경 소비행동을 할 수 있도록 가정교과와 타 교과 교육과의 연계를 통해 청소년들의 환경친화적 가치관 교육을 강화하여야 하며, 학교-학생-학부모 모두가 참여하는 실질적인 교복 재활용 기회의 확대가 필요하겠다.
