Variations in Consumer Responses to Waste and Disposal

Current session examines various consumer responses to waste and disposal. The first three papers investigate how waste aversion impacts consumers’ disposal, consumption, and acquisition decisions, and the last paper addresses what disposal signals to consumers. Findings provide implications for consumers, businesses, and the environment in reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
