We’ll also examine the rise of the <strong>circular economy</strong> and how ethical and sustainable choices can influence consumer behaviour.</p><p>Finally, we turn to the digital world, exploring <strong>GDPR, data protection and consumers’ digital rights</strong>, and consider how consumers can take greater control of their personal information.
