Abstract

The current system of delivery not only places a heavy burden on waste disposal in society but also causes environmental pollution and a waste of resources in China. package sorting and recycling have become one of the most effective solutions This study aims to examine the factors affecting people’s behavior intention of packaging classification and recycling based on the theory of planned behavior, as well as description norms on behavioral intention. Further, according to the spillover effect, these factors of people with different attitudes towards garbage classification on packaging classification and recycling behavior intention are also examined. The results show that people’s attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, perceived usefulness, and description norms all significantly predict people’s intention on classification and recycling of packaging. In addition, the effects of these factors among people with different levels of attitude towards garbage sorting has been compared and discussed.
