“…It is a process wherein the beliefs of a reference group or, more specifically, significant persons, such as family, friends, and the PLOS ONE community, affect an individual's observations, opinions, and feelings [34]. The strong influence of subjective norms on pro-environmental intention has been shown in preceding studies [73,80,81]. Soomro et al [64] studied psychological factors influencing solid waste recycling intentions.…”

“…According to Hirsh et al [ 99 ], people with high levels of neuroticism are more concerned about negative consequences, and their environmental distress makes them afraid of the ecological damage that waste can cause. Numerous recent studies have found that neuroticism has a role in pro-environmental behavior [ 39 , 73 , 80 ]. Neuroticism influences pro-environmental behavior in a positive and significant way [ 88 ].…”

The seriousness of the e-waste crisis stems from the fact that consumers do not participate much in ensuring the proper disposal of electronic materials. In this context, millennials are the largest segment of consumers of electronic products who are not yet motivated to get sustainably rid of them. However, to inspire consumers to recycle e-waste, it is necessary to investigate consumers’ behavioral intentions towards e-waste thoroughly. This study integrates the theory of planned behavior, social influence theory, and personality traits to examine how consumers gauge their choice to recycle e-waste. Data were collected from randomly surveying 300 Lithuanians through a structured questionnaire. Using the PLS-SEM approach, results show that attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control significantly influence consumers’ e-waste recycling intention. Regarding personality traits, only openness to experience significantly affects consumers’ e-waste recycling intention. In contrast, other traits such as agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, and neuroticism have a non-significant influence on consumers’ e-waste recycling intention. In addition, normative and informational social influence affects consumers’ e-waste recycling intention. The current study advances our understanding of e-waste recycling behavior by examining how TPB, personality factors, and social influence theory influence intentions. It provides valuable insights for policymakers and marketers on understanding and encouraging the e-waste behavior of Lithuanian Y-generation consumers.

“…For instance, several studies have proven that a positive attitude is an essential antecedent of behavioral intention, such as in the recycling and reuse of plastic wastes [ 5 ], e-waste disposal behavior [ 45 ], recycling of solid waste [ 46 ], the purchase of energy-efficient appliances [ 41 ], mobile waste recycling [ 42 ], and suboptimal foods [ 43 ]. Specifically, studies revealed that attitude has a positive influence on the intention to reuse drink cups and straws [ 3 , 10 , 25 ]. Based on previous studies, we can assume that attitude is an essential antecedent of university students’ intention to use reusable drink cups.…”

“…Many researchers have found the individual’s behavioral control to be an essential determinant of behavioral intention [ 27 , 29 , 31 ]. Past studies have demonstrated that perceived behavioral control is a crucial element of the TPB model that significantly affects the use of reusable bottles [ 54 ], reusable drinking straw [ 25 ], and anti-PM2.5 mask and filter behavioral intentions [ 55 ]. Based on the previous studies’ results, we can assume that perceived behavioral control will positively influence university students’ intention to use reusable cups on university campuses.…”

Unsustainable production and consumption have threatened human life and nature. Therefore, practitioners around the globe have paid attention to sustainability issues and adopted pro-environmental strategies to protect the environment. Using single-use cups contributes to environmental pollution. This study aims to understand university students’ intention to use reusable drink cups in university campuses. This study has extended the theory of planned behavior (TPB) model by including moral norms, green university initiatives, environmental concerns, and moral norms. The purposive sampling technique has been employed to collect students’ data from the twelve universities in Pakistan. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has been employed to test the hypothesized model. The study’s results revealed that green university initiatives and norms significantly shape students’ intention to use reusable cups. However, environmental concern has an insignificant impact on the perceived behavioral control. This study’s results help higher education institutions to formulate strategies that create awareness among students and promote environmentally sustainable practices.

Kenya has made many attempts to regulate the production of single-use plastics through partial bans and the imposition of hefty taxes. Whereas government initiatives are crucial to resolving single-use plastic pollution, commitments made by youths can be an important part of the solution. Yet, youths are habituated to using single-use plastics without understanding fully their negative impacts. Understanding the knowledge and attitudes of youths is of the utmost importance in the effort to turn the tide against plastic pollution. This study set out to investigate knowledge and attitudes towards single-use plastics among youths in Nairobi, Kenya. This was a mixed study approach, where both qualitative and quantitative data were derived. The results showed that youths perceive single-use plastics as a serious environmental and health issue. Most respondents expressed willingness to switch to reusable alternatives if provided with financial incentives. In addition, the results showed stronger support for enhanced awareness campaigns and plastic recycling infrastructure. Social media was the most preferred channel to disseminate plastic pollution messaging among the youth. These findings are important in policy development for intensifying awareness and targeting a range of communication and financial support to reduce single-use plastic pollution.
