RALEIGH, N.C., September 29, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Policymakers and waste managers struggle with preventing the ever increasing level of waste wrongly discarded in nature, placed in inadequate garbage/recycling/compost bins, or lingering in consumers' homes. This is usually considered as a failure of mobilizing consumers to take responsibility for properly managing their household waste.
Key Points:
- This is usually considered as a failure of mobilizing consumers to take responsibility for properly managing their household waste.
- The Journal of Consumer research publishes empirical, methodological and theoretical papers on topics in consumer research.
- The study shows that consumers ignoring or rejecting their waste responsibilities may not always be the main reason for such challenges.
- The authors of the Journal of Consumer Research paper also discuss the implications of their research for waste management actors as well as consumer researchers interested in consumer governance and responsibilization, consumer activism, sustainability, and waste disposal.
