“…These supportive attitudes and environmental concerns can be construed as being in accord with the religious texts aimed at reducing food waste (c.f., Tieman and Hassan, 2015, Bloom, 2010, Schmidt et al ., 2014), as discussed above. Similarly, household behaviors such as composting, recycling, and feeding leftover scraps to animals are ways through which interrelationships with the Earth are enhanced and food waste behaviors are reduced, thus waste is naturally reintegrated into the Earth (Kovacs, 2015; Zamri et al ., 2020).…”

Food waste is a problem worldwide, but solutions have yet to adequately incorporate consumers' core valuesvalues which are often rooted in religion. Study 1 shows that restrictive religious norms (e.g., rules about food consumption, fasting) lead to greater food waste, whereas supportive religious norms (e.g., sharing food) lead to reduced food waste. Study 2 replicates prior findings and rules out competing explanations. Study 3 manipulates marketing messaging to show that consumers with higher (lower) levels of religiosity are more likely to reduce food waste with a prevention (promotion) framed message partnered with environmental reasoning or a promotion (prevention) framed message partnered with people-based reasoning. Implications for marketers, consumer advocacy groups, and policy makers desiring to reduce food waste are provided.

“…Considering the recency of regulations has an impact on behaviours and the related implementation ( Mintz et al., 2019 ), social media can promote waste recycling ( DEEP, 2020 ) and increase the participation of stakeholders by communicating with residents persuasively ( Knickmeyer, 2019 ). Social media can provide instant interaction and feedback regarding their concerns and suggestions ( Zamri et al., 2019 ). The computer-based feedback systems can be tailored to track recycling activity and send feedback in the whole social networks, which help to significantly increase segregation accuracy and nurture recycling behaviour ( Knickmeyer, 2019 ).…”

Highlights Data mining approaches are applied to measure and improve social media publicity. The current publicity in household waste management leans toward propagandist-centred. The identified high user engagements are at 12:00–13:00 and 21:00–22:00 on thursday. The macro policy in shanghai increases the recyclable waste collection by 431.8%. A case study in shanghai presents personalised improvements in waste management.

“…However, Zamri et al. 's (2020) recent synthesis of the literature reveals that food waste reduction programmes have been focused on environmental and economic‐based approaches, while the religion‐based approach has so far been relegated to a negligible role. Porpino (2016) also highlighted a gap in knowledge regarding the role of religion in shaping consumer food waste.…”

Religiosity and food waste reduction intentions: A conceptual model

Are religious consumers less wasteful? If so, to what extent and by what mechanisms does religiosity motivate consumers to reduce food waste? To address these questions, this study proposes a conceptual model and evaluates it empirically using PLS‐SEM and data from 583 consumers. The results reveal that religiosity encourages food waste reduction. Specifically, religiosity is positively related to consumer attitudes, activism and personal and subjective norms to reduce food waste. Consumers’ activism and personal norms are significant mediating mechanisms that convey the impact of religiosity on food waste reduction intentions. Interestingly, however, consumers’ attitudes and subjective norms show no significant effects on their food waste reduction intentions. In addition, perceived behavioural control (PBC) appears to be an important determinant of consumer intentions, but it plays a direct role rather than a moderating role. These results extend the previous literature by (a) proposing novel intervening mechanisms to explain the understudied religiosity‐consumer behaviour relationship and (b) shedding light on the controversy regarding the additive versus moderating effect of PBC. Ultimately, this study provides a basis for religious‐based interventions for policy makers and marketers as well as ideas to motivate food waste reduction at the consumer level.
