Figure 12
The network displays multiple clusters of nodes, each represented by circles with labels, connected by thin lines indicating relationships, with labels adjacent to the nodes. A scale bar at the bottom right shows a color gradient transitioning from blue to yellow. The blue represents “2016,” and in increments of 2, the color transitions until the yellow represents “2024.” On the bottom left, four large nodes are labeled “greenwashing,” “green,” “management,” and “performance,” which are connected to other red nodes labeled as follows: “products,” “growth,” “degradation,” “optimization,” “quality,” “water,” “removal,” “extraction,” “consumption,” “adsorption,” “nanoparticles,” “consumers,” “acid,” “green synthesis,” “antibacterial,” “trust,” “disclosure,” “impact,” “behavior,” “silver nanoparticles,” “environmental performance,” “cellulose,” “cotton,” “fibers,” and “textiles.” At the top left, a single green node is labeled “vegetables.” At the right, a single node is labeled “green chemistry.”Temporal evolution of greenwashing in relation to key terms.
