“…According to our analysis, 9 of the 20 studies (Fig. 7) that include this variable report some dependence between unit pricing and household behaviour [3,7,8,11,20,30,33,45,63], while 11 of 20 report no link between them [2,26,49,55,56,61,[64][65][66][67][68]. Thus the results are not consistent.…”

PostprintThis is the accepted version of a paper published in Waste and Biomass Valorization. This paper has been peer-reviewed but does not include the final publisher proof-corrections or journal pagination. Abstract A meta-analysis was made of results from previous studies on different variables influencing and determining the recycling behaviour of householders. These studies were conducted by researchers working in various fields in a number of different countries and are published in diverse journals. We evaluated trends in research outputs in the period 1990-2010, during which the provision of recycling facilities to householders has greatly expanded and requirements have become more extensive and often more complex. Variables affecting the recycling behaviour of householders were classified into four theoretical groups: socio-psychological, technical-organisational, individual socio-demographic and study-specific. These groups (clusters) were identified in a meta-analysis of 63 empirical studies culled from published research. The strongest predictors of householders' recycling behaviour were identified as being convenience, moral norms, information and environmental concern. The theoretical framework developed can be used to formulate questionnaires and in data analysis.

“…This approach requires that consumers or producers to pay a fee for items, which would otherwise be dumped (Calcott & Walls, 2005). The combination of recycling subsidies and output taxes is often called a deposit-refund, and it encourages producers and consumers to recycle more and deter illegal dumping (Dinan, 1993;Sigman, 1995;Fullerton & Kinnaman, 1995;Palmer & Walls, 1997;Calcott & Walls, 2005). Grounded on the idea of the "polluter pays principle", Arthur C. Pigou contends taxation of polluters so that the polluters internalize the negative externality associated with the activity.…”

“…Since recycling of material is necessarily incomplete, the recycling waste still contains some material that was embodied in the consumption residuals. Our model allows for the possibility that this 4 'waste material' is environmentally harmful after being land lled 3 and that these detrimental environmental e ects can be reduced through waste treatment prior to land lling. If the material content of recycling waste a ects the productivity of waste treatment, which is a plausible hypothesis, then the issue of an e cient choice of material content of recycling waste arises.…”

“…When we d o s o i n t h e p r e s e n t paper, the principle focus turns out to be on the material content of the consumption good, the material content of consumption residuals and the material content o f 3 Environmental damage may be due to pollutants released from the land ll into the air (gas) or the ground (seepage) and/or due to deterioration of ecological systems through land lling.…”

The material is modeled as being embodied in the output and forms an important aspect of green product design. If all markets for embodied material per unit output fail and if recycling bene t exceeds environmental damage, the policy instruments needed for green design are a tax on the consumption good supply and a subsidy on the demand for material input.
