“…Intending to enact positive environmental change strengthens waste recycling practices [45]. Several studies use the Extended Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) to explain pro-environmental behavior; indeed, concern for the environment positively affects waste sorting behavior via an intermediary variable (guilt) [46].…”

Recycling waste is important as it can help to reduce environmental pollution caused by “waste siege”. Source classification is an important part of the municipal solid waste (MSW) sorting process. The factors that prompt residents to participate in waste sorting have been debated by scholars in recent years; however, there are not many papers that focus on the complex relationships between them. This study reviewed the literature that concerns residents’ participation in waste sorting, and it summarized the external factors that might influence residents’ participation. Then, we focused on 25 pilot cities in China, and we analyzed the configuration impact of external factors on residents’ participation using a necessary condition analysis (NCA) and a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). We found no consistency between variables, nor was there one single condition that caused residents to participate in waste sorting. There are two main methods (environment-driven and resource-driven) that can help achieve a high participation rate, and three methods that can cause a low participation rate. This study provides suggestions for the implementation of waste sorting in other cities in China, as well as developing countries, with an emphasis on the importance of public participation.

“…Some scholars believe that groups receiving government subsidies may be more likely to understand the government's waste separation policy, and thus carry out waste separation [ 24 ]. However, some studies have shown that economic incentives are ineffective, and direct material incentives even discourage residents' sorting behavior [ 25 ]. As a result, the effectiveness of the incentives is inconclusive.…”

“…If not properly disposed of, e-waste can spread hazardous chemicals into the water, and worryingly it is responsible for greenhouse emissions. However, proper e-waste management such as recycling can contribute to environmental protection by reducing carbon emissions (Xia et al, 2023). Efficient recycling can also contribute to material scarcity issues, such as platinum and silver retrieved from recycled e-waste offering monetary benefits to business (Seif et al, 2023).…”

PurposeThis study aims to have a holistic understanding of psychological determinants of consumers' e-waste recycling behavior to promote sustainable post-consumption behavior through end-of-life electronic products exchange (EEPE) program.Design/methodology/approachThe study integrated additional cognitive and noncognitive factors within the Theory of Planned Behavior. Data were collected from 334 participants who were purposively recruited from well-known online retailers in an emerging market, with the data analyzed using structural equation modeling.FindingsThe results provide some fresh insights, such as the significant positive influence of recycling habits, economic benefits and attitudes toward nudging on EEPE, with a distinct serial mediation link from recycling habits to EEPE behavior.Practical implicationsThis study highlights some relevant sustainable marketing strategies including the integration of nudging and habits as behavioral interventions for promoting e-waste recycling.Originality/valueThe originality of this study relates to (1) testing the significance of nudging in promoting sustainable postconsumption behavior and (2) revealing a serial mediation effect of recycling habits on EEPE behavior via attitude toward e-waste recycling and EEPE intention.
