“…Analogous research results show that convenience is also a prevalent determinant of rational consumer e-waste recycling behavior for American consumers, such that municipalities in the U.S. try to create convenient infrastructure [39,46,47]. In Asian countries, e-waste management initiatives are especially challenging because financial attributions largely determine consumer e-waste disposal behavior in contrast to European or American consumers, who believe that they are mitigating environmental degradation by engaging in recycling activities [12,40]. Since economic incentives in Asia are dominating determinants for consumer recycling behavior as well as lack of legislative norms, the informal e-waste collection sector is gaining momentum in these countries.…”

“…Ease or difficulty in the performance of the proper e-waste recycling behavior is perceived by the individual, based on the so-called consumer's transaction costs that accompany the process of participation. Wagner [39] and Dixit and Vaish [40] proceed from the criterion of minimizing all possible consumer efforts in terms of transaction costs in determining the essence of 'convenience' of the proper discard from the EoL product process. Dixit and Vaish [40] noted that consumers spend personal resources (e.g., effort, time, and money) while returning e-waste.…”

Dixit and Vaish [40] noted that consumers spend personal resources (e.g., effort, time, and money) while returning e-waste. In the case of household waste, Best et al [41] argued that average behavioral costs are lower for a curbside recycling scheme than for a drop-off system.…”

“…In Romania, the informal system remains functional despite the creation of a formal e-waste system [40] that features 'single day' collection, the 'take-back' system with a discount on new equipment, and collection centers to dispose of WEEE free of charge. According to a survey conducted in Romania, 42% of people dispose of WEEE using the formal system, while 29% of respondents use the informal system [39].…”

“…The following categories of incentives were determined by Dixit and Vaish [40]: (1) financial incentives (cash back and discount coupons); (2) environmental incentives (donation of e-waste to an organization in return for tree planting); and (3) societal charity incentives (donation). The scientists ranked these incentives based on consumer preferences in India.…”

Consumer electronics are made of a wide range of materials, including precious metals and critical minerals with limited global reserves. Ensuring the recycling of these materials is essential for future use, especially since many renewable energy solutions are based on them. In addition, improper end-of-life treatments of these products cause harm to the environment and human health. This study explores the incentives that have been used to increase consumer collection rates for end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment (EoL EEE). Based on extensive global literature reviews, we propose an alternative to existing consumer incentives. The research suggests that implementing an economic incentive based on the electronic bonus card system (EBCS) has several benefits compared to existing incentives. It compensates the consumers for the transaction costs of proper collection and satisfies the consumer perception of EoL EEE as having a residual value. However, application of the EBCS motivation technology will require the cooperation of various stakeholders, including electronics producers and national and international authorities.

Personal communication devices have made their way into each and every household. The complex nature of e‐waste, and its generation at an amplified pace calls for serious attention of policy makers, managers, educators and researchers. The paper presents a structured literature review of peer‐reviewed journal publications in the research area of disposal behavior of consumers with respect to their personal electronics. Also, it discusses the concepts and theoretical underpinnings to understand consumer disposal behavior based on extensive literature review. These theoretical foundations further help in framing the hypothesis and proposing the conceptual model. The proposed model is based on Theory of Planned Behavior. It studies the relationship between the core constructs: attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control, and includes awareness of consequences derived from the Value‐Belief‐Norm Theory. The model will also prove useful in understanding the impact of environmentally responsible disposal intention of personal electronics and its relationship with actual behavior. The role of external influences in the form of moderators is also taken into consideration while developing the model. It is expected that the research will help provide useful insights to literature on environmentally responsible disposal.
