Changing Garbage Disposal Patterns of Consumers: Motivation, Ability, and Performance
Abstract
The role of consumer behavior in the recycling and special treatment of garbage is analyzed in three steps. The first step focuses on the production and consumption cycle. Four recycling chains and one special treatment chain, as well as the role of consumers in these chains, are discussed. The second step concerns the specific decisions of consumers that lead to their continued participation in waste separation programs. The third step deals with the determinants of these decisions. Results from research on the participation of consumers in waste separation programs in the Netherlands and Germany illustrate the application of the three-step approach. Conclusions and recommendations for public policy are formulated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
