“…It is also suggested that digital reminders or text messages be used to remind people of the four-step plastic recycling and to receive feedback. In some studies, mobile technology was applied in interventions to motivate pro-environmental actions, such as connecting with nature through social media (Wheaton et al , 2016) or mobile applications for issuing waste collection reminders (Purohit et al , 2016). It was also noticed that the style of the reminder message also influenced the pro-environmental outcomes, where persuasive and demonstrative messages encouraged litter reduction in nature parks and on beaches (Cingolani et al , 2016).…”

Purpose The problem of plastic wastes is serious nowadays worldwide, although plastic wastes recycling is already in practice. To promote sustainability in plastic waste recycling, the quality of wastes collected should be maintained well, resulted from a good recycling practice. This paper aims to study a new plastic recycling bin (PRB) and poster interventions on the enhancement of university hall residential students’ proenvironmental knowledge, attitudes and intended behaviours (KAB) and actual recycling behaviours; informative and feedback posters were used as interventions. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a quasi-experimental setting to examine the effects of the new PRB on students’ KAB and actual behaviours in recycling, whereas the quality of the recycled plastic was measured according to the extent of cleanliness (CLE), separation (SEP), compression (COM) and sortedness (SOR). Findings Results showed that significant positive enhancements in KAB only happened with the use of blended interventions, which included promotion through the PRB and posters, suggesting that the use of the PRB and posters was useful in achieving better recycling behaviour. Originality/value Blended intervention study by using new design plastic recycling bin and poster on the effect of students’ proenvironmental and recycling KAB.
