Increased public awareness towards the global environmental problems together with government regulations has forced current manufacturing companies to be more conscious of the effect of their activities on the natural environment. One of the many efforts to combat these environmental problems is to recover products at the end of their life in orde...

... are basically two possible business solutions for the realisation of product recovery within manufacturing applications, namely (a) through addition of recovery capabilities to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) activities or (b) by third party independent recovery companies whose sole business is to re-process used products. This correspondingly highlights two possible reference configurations for the realisation of PR procedures within a manufacturing enterprise, namely • Reference Configuration I -Recovery by Manufacturer: in this reference configuration the original manufacturer of the product takes the products back at the end of its life and carries out the recovery processes in-house, as illustrated in Figure 4a. This is often achieved by the expansion of the business and manufacturing facilities to include the required resources to undertake the recovery processes. ...

... Reference Configuration 2 -Recovery by Independent Recoverer : in the second reference configuration, an independent recovery company undertakes PR on behalf of one or more OEMs (see Figure 4b). The recoverer receives the product(s) from the collectors at the end of their life and carries out the required recovery processes, and supplies them back to the original manufacturer or sells them on to a secondary customer. ...

Environmental issues developed rapidly driven by the high impact on environmental damage due to the production process that is not environmentally friendly. The increase of goods and services consumption that are quite high throughout the world has resulted in a reduction in natural resources that have an impact on the environment. Efforts to reduce this impact are the existence of a green consumption policy. In 2006, Indonesia introduced eco-label markers on products that have been produced environmentally friendly. This policy needs to be supported by increasing consumer awareness to buy eco-labeled products. This study purposes to identify factors that influence consumer awareness in purchase eco-labeled paper products. This study uses the Structural Equation Modeling, while data processing uses AMOS software. The results showed that the higher the consumer's concern about the state of the environment would be to increase a proper assessment for the environment (environmental attitude), and ultimately the consumer would consciously consume products that have a minimal impact on the environment (environmentally conscious purchasing behavior). Recommendations that can be given to increase consumer awareness in purchasing eco-labeled products, including the use of mass media; environmental education; always socializing to the public regarding environmental issues; provide training to producers
