“…On the other hand, a lower price of products from recycling has a small impact on the fact of segregating municipal waste. This fact is confirmed by Kushwah et al 2023; concern about the environment, expected guilt, awareness of consequences and health awareness have a considerable positive impact on waste segregation by inhabitants. The reason for household resistance to waste segregation may be a lack of trust in municipal waste collection companies.…”

“…This is linked to the doubts about the waste handling practices of waste collection companies (Vassanadumrongdee and Kittipongvises, 2018). Also, an infrastructural barrier, which comprises segregated waste containers, waste collection stations and other sorting services, can contribute to poorer waste management by residents (Kushwah et al 2023).…”

“…Waste segregation on the household level may facilitate sustainable waste management. However, in spite of the government's numerous efforts, much still needs to be done in practice when it comes to waste segregation in households (Kushwah et al 2023). Adopting sustainable waste practices in line with cleaner production and circular economy philosophies can mitigate the carbon footprint of mishandling waste management (Nogueira et al, 2022;Wang et al, 2021).…”

The amount of generated municipal waste depends not only on the population but also on consumption patterns and economic welfare. The aim of this paper was to present the structure of generated waste over the years in the European Union, Poland, in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, and in Rzeszow. It has been assumed that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the political action of the government, and the higher standard of living of the society are the factors influencing the increase in the amount of waste generated by households and waste segregation. The paper analyses the waste management system using the official data collected and published by Statistics Poland -the Local Data Bank (LBD) and Eurostat. The amount of municipal waste and waste collected selectively from households was probably affected to the greatest extent by local regulations. According to the data presented, a sharp increase in the amount of municipal waste, including bulk waste and bio-waste, was observed in 2013 and 2014, which may be related to the amendment in 2013 applicable in Poland of the Act on maintaining order and cleanliness in communes. Unfortunately in the Eurostat database, no accurate data on selectively collected municipal waste is available, and in LBD this data is available for different time spans depending on the administrative level. This makes it difficult to draw unequivocal conclusions on the amount of generated waste and forecast changes.

“…The decentralized interactive function of the internet further highlights the agency of waste classification executors, with the development of the internet making new media one of the main mediums people rely upon. Media usage positively influences people's waste classification behavior [36]. Hence, internet-based new media mobilizes the intrinsic motivation of rural residents, promoting the formation of their willingness to classify waste.…”

Addressing the global challenge of sustainable waste management, this research investigates the influence of social dynamics and digital connectivity on rural residents’ willingness to adopt waste classification practices, essential for sustainable environmental management. Through a comprehensive analysis of 5413 rural participants surveyed in the China Labor-force Dynamic Survey (CLDS), this study employs a novel mixed-methods approach. It integrates quantitative analysis with the Manski social interaction framework and a Recursive Bivariate Probit model to explore the intricate interplay between community interactions, internet access, and environmental behaviors. Our methodology stands out for its unique combination of social theory and econometric modeling to address a pressing environmental issue. Results highlight a significant effect of mobile internet use and social interactions within communities on enhancing willingness towards waste classification. Notably, digital connectivity emerges as a key facilitator of environmental engagement, mediating social influences, and fostering a collective approach to waste management. Considering these insights, we propose targeted policy interventions that blend digital strategies with traditional community engagement efforts. Recommendations include crafting digital literacy programs and leveraging social media to bolster community-centric environmental governance. By harnessing the synergistic potential of digital tools and social dynamics, these strategies aim to elevate the effectiveness of waste classification initiatives in rural China, offering a scalable model for environmental sustainability.

The alarming food waste in restaurants exacerbates the deteriorating global food security crisis and hinders the achievement of sustainable development goals. What information interventions can restaurants provide to effectively reduce consumer food waste? This question remains unresolved. To this end, based on the extended Stimulus‐Organism‐Response (SOR) theory, this study conducted two experiments to investigate which information frameworks are more effective in reducing consumer food waste behavior (FWB) in restaurants and how these interventions trigger consumers' intrinsic psychological mechanisms. Study 1 (N = 643) found that feedback‐based information has a significantly greater inhibitory effect on FWB than prompt‐type information, with the strongest effect observed when feedback‐based and loss information are coupled. The results of Study 2 (N = 608) confirmed that anticipated guilt mediates the partial paths between information frameworks and FWB. Additionally, moral face consciousness moderates the relationship between anticipated guilt and FWB, whereby for individuals with a stronger moral face consciousness, the inhibition effect of anticipated guilt on FWB is greater. This study contributes to the current theory and literature, providing valuable recommendations for restaurant managers and policymakers on how to effectively utilize information interventions to reduce food waste, thereby mitigating the global food security crisis and promoting social sustainability.
