Abstract

Waste Management in India has always been a severe problem, and tackling this issue would require a social mindset towards adopting green practices. This study aims to understand the consumer mindset and awareness of recycling in India and explore factors that could influence India’s recycling behavior. The data for this study has been obtained through a primary research – survey questionnaire. Correlation analysis and regression have been applied to understand the result of the questionnaire data. Promoting recycling amongst people takes into consideration many factors. The results suggest that recycling behavior is mostly influenced by factors, such as willingness to adopt environment-friendly behavior, awareness towards recycling, and providing incentives. This study aimed to explore recycling in India and study the major factors that can influence people to adopt recycling. It also explored a possible relationship between providing incentives and influencing recycling behavior. These findings will help to analyze and develop strategies to boost the recycling rate in India.
