“…Bianchi andBirtwistle (2007, 2010) point out that overconsumption is stimulated by design through fast fashion, resulting in short-term use of clothing products, psychological obsolescence and premature disposal (Bianchi and Birtwistle, 2010;Birtwistle and Moore, 2007;Armstrong et Al. 2014).…”

“…Culture is another fundamental macro-environmental force in disposal channel structures. In developed, culturally individualistic societies, donation is the prevailing channel for clothing disposal outside of the home (Bianchi & Birtwistle, 2010;Harrell & McConocha, 1992;Morgan & Birtwistle, 2009). However, in certain collectivist societies, gifting is the prevailing disposal channel (Cruz-Cárdenas, 2013).…”

“…Additionally, an increase in clothing circulation decreases the amount of waste entering garbage dumps and landfills, generating a positive environmental effect (Bianchi & Birtwistle, 2010). Despite their benefits, these disposal methods have received little attention from researchers (Krush et al, 2015).…”

“…Despite their benefits, these disposal methods have received little attention from researchers (Krush et al, 2015). Donation has attracted the most attention because it tends to be the primary clothing disposal method in developed, individualistic societies (Bianchi & Birtwistle, 2010;Harrell & McConocha, 1992;Morgan & Birtwistle, 2009), and most studies of clothing disposal have come from these types of nations (Laitala, 2014). Developed individualistic societies (e.g., the United States and the United Kingdom) have high income levels, and the individual's goals take precedence over the goals of the groups to which he or she belongs (Hofstede, 2001).…”

The study of clothing disposal systems, involving the flow of clothing from one household to another, is of great interest because of the positive social and environmental consequences. Based on 35 in-depth interviews with adult men and women in Ecuador, a Latin American country, the authors sought to expand knowledge regarding one of these systems: clothing disposal by gifting to family, friends, and acquaintances. The respondents' narratives indicated that the clothing disposal system by gifting is noncentric; based on social exchange, it strengthens the links between givers and recipients while allowing for clothes to circulate for a longer time. The data also indicated an intersection between age and gender, offering insight into how the process of clothing disposal by gifting develops within households. In some disposal events reported by participants, the clothing disposal system by gifting demonstrated autonomy, but in other events, it interacted with the clothing marketing system.

“…Consumption behavior includes pre-and post-purchase behavior, and disposal behavior is a post-purchase behavior (Jacoby et al, 1977). Although the initial studies about consumption behavior included only purchase and use behavior, recent studies have extended the range of consumption behavior and have included disposal behavior (Bianchi & Birtwistle, 2010;Jacoby et al, 1977;Winakor, 1969). While understanding acquisition and usage behavior is indeed an important step in understanding overall 834 한국의류산업학회지 제18권 제6호, 2016년 consumption, it is only part of the picture.…”

: Due to the rapid expansion of fashion, consumers easily purchase fashion products, the period of wearing apparel is shortened, and the occurrence of clothes piling up in the closet is increasing. In order to induce and suggest rational consumption and disposal actions, research focused on the factors influencing difficulty discarding and disposal behavior toward a fashion product is needed. Thus, this study considered fashion-shopping orientation as a variable affecting difficulty discarding and disposal behavior toward fashion products. A total of 325 questionnaires were collected, and 11 were discarded due to partial responses or missing data. Finally, a total of 314 survey questionnaires were analyzed. Frequency, exploratory factor, reliability, and multiple regression analyses were employed for data analysis using SPSS 23.0. The study results were as follows. First, hedonic and economic shopping orientation positively affected difficulty discarding a fashion product, whereas rational shopping orientation negatively affected difficulty discarding a fashion product. Second, hedonic, economic, and conspicuous shopping orientation positively affected reuse behavior among disposal behavior toward a fashion product. Third, trend-seeking and convenient shopping orientation positively influenced handover behavior. Fourth, economic and conspicuous shopping orientation positively affected separation discard behavior. The results of this study provide various guidelines for manufacturers and retailers of fashion products.
