The surge in e‐waste production highlights the need to investigate what influences recycling behaviors, ultimately to enhance sustainable management practices. Previous research has explored its psychological antecedents, but there has been limited study on how situational factors of collection centers affect e‐waste recycling behavior. This research investigates how convenience of collection centers (i.e., proximity, availability, and user experience) influences e‐waste recycling behaviors. A survey administered to 700 citizens explores the relationship between convenience and goal‐framing theory components, namely gain, normative, and hedonic goals. Structural equation modeling is employed for analysis. Results reveal that convenience significantly affects e‐waste recycling behaviors through gain (β = −.304, p < .001) and normative goals (β = .154, p < .05), while hedonic goals show no significant association (β = −.064, p > .05). Furthermore, convenience exhibits a direct impact on e‐waste recycling behaviors (β = .166, p < .05). Implications for research and practical strategies for recycling initiatives are discussed. This study adds valuable insights to the existing literature and informs targeted interventions for sustainable e‐waste management.

There is a significant rise in the pile of non-biodegradable menstrual waste. Still, the majority of the studies focused on the variety and quality of menstrual products, and only a few investigated the sustainable and safe disposal of used menstrual material. The theory of planned behaviour serves as the foundation upon which the paper constructs its theoretical framework to study menstrual waste disposal behaviour among adolescents. It finds that a variety of social contexts and circumstances influence adolescents' intentions to dispose of used menstrual products carelessly, indirectly contributing to environmental degradation. This paper is an attempt to examine the existing gap in the literature and understand the attitudes and intentions that underlie such an activity. This paper also suggests ways for policymakers and implementors to influence the behaviour of adolescents resulting in hygienic and environmentally safe disposal of menstrual waste.
