“…The previous studies [39,41] revealed that perceived behavior control indeed influences residents' separation behavior. An individual's perceived behavior control provides positive and direct effects towards their KW separation behavior.…”

“…Respondents were asked psychologically based questions relating to KW separation that included attitude, perceived behavior control, subjective norms, moral norms, and responsibility denial. These questions (please see Appendix A) were derived from the recycling behavior literature [39,[55][56][57][58]. Specifically, for each questionnaire item of these psychological aspects, individuals were asked to indicate the extent of their agreement with the proposed statements, using a five-point Likert scale in which responses could range from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).…”

“…Some studies [24,26,27,39,41] show that the recycling behavior of an individual is substantially influenced by the social norms that he/she perceives to be held by other people or social groups that are important to him/her. Thus, these norms could promote waste separation through serving as behavioral role models or through invoking concerns about self-regard.…”

“…A wide variety of psychological factors, such as attitude, perceived behavior control, and subjective norms, have been identified as influential in household waste recycling behavior. Furthermore, in recent years, there has been increasing awareness towards household KW, especially towards how to reduce household KW at the source in developed countries [35][36][37][38][39][40]. However, few researchers have considered the KW separately in developing countries, or the difference between recyclable (e.g., paper, aluminum, plastic, glass, cardboard, and batteries) and KW, and all have treated the entire waste as a whole in their studies.…”

Model of Chinese Household Kitchen Waste Separation Behavior: A Case Study in Beijing City

High participation rates by the public in authority projects are key in increasing resident recycling levels. Understanding waste separation behavior is crucial to achieving sustainable waste management within such household-based schemes. To identify the driving forces behind the seldom-discussed kitchen garbage separation behavior, five psychological factors, namely, attitude, perceived behavior control, subjective norms, moral norms, and responsibility denial, are established. Our data originate from a social study of Beijing citizens conducted in July 2013 (n = 362). Through structural equation modeling, we find that moral norms are consistently the most important predictor of household kitchen waste (KW) separation behavior. Subjective norms have a larger effect on such behavior than responsibility denial. Data analysis shows that perceived behavior control contributes significantly and independently to the explanation of such behavior. By contrast, attitude towards KW separation is found to be significantly negatively correlated with separation behavior. In conclusion, the model with direct and indirect effects of psychological factors explains 50.3% of the variance in household KW source separation behavior. Implications of the results for the promotion of household KW separation programs are discussed.

“…It has previously always been introduced to bridge the attitude-behaviour gap [25]. Up to now, the model of TPB has been applied to explore individual and/or household behaviours, such as food waste reduction [26][27][28] and waste recycling [1,12,29], which manifests its effectiveness in analysing and predicting the household waste separation behaviours.…”

Understanding Household Waste Separation Behaviour: Testing the Roles of Moral, Past Experience, and Perceived Policy Effectiveness within the Theory of Planned Behaviour

et al. 2017

Due to the increasing waste generation over the years in China, there is an urgent need to addressing this major problem by implementing effective household waste separation programs. Although past studies have tried to explain the waste behaviour from social and psychological motivations, there is little understanding as to the impact of individual moral obligation and past experience on forming waste separating intention. The aim of this study is to investigate key determinants influencing household waste separation intention and behaviour. Based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model, we designed a survey questionnaire by taking account of determinants including residents' attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, moral obligation, past behaviour, and demographic factors, with the prediction of household waste separation behaviour in mind. After obtaining 628 valid questionnaires from households in the city of Hangzhou, the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of each construct. The results indicate that subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, past behaviour and intention significantly predict household waste separation behaviour, with past behaviour being the most significant construct to predict individuals' intention and behaviour. Additional analysis on the moderating effect of different kinds of people in terms of their genders, ages, income levels and perceived policy effectiveness, to further evoke household waste separation behaviours is also discussed. The findings suggest insightful future policies that can focus on residents' habit formation by providing the convenient location of waste separation and collection facilities, encouraging market-driven recycling programs and traders, promoting community campaigns and education which help residents to form favourable habits for protecting the environment.

Recently, there has been growing interest among scholars and industry professionals in understanding how agro‐food supply chains can shift from a linear to a circular model. This involves managing waste, recovering resources, and adopting sustainable practices. However, knowledge on circular economies in agro‐food supply chains is scattered, with limited comprehensive studies available. To address this gap, our study conducts a bibliometric and network analysis of 364 documents from the Scopus database. We identify influential authors, contributing countries and journals, and most cited documents. Additionally, we use network analysis to visualize connections between authors and keywords, providing insights into emerging trends and critical research areas. We also uncover important keywords and themes, laying a foundation for future research directions. Overall, our study offers a comprehensive overview, serving as a basis for further exploration in this field.
