A study on factors that influence recycling behaviors of students at UiTM Campus Samarahan 2 / Cythiana Kinta Jeffry and Valarie Saging

In the pursuit of trash reduction, environmental preservation, and sustainable living, recycling has become increasingly important. The process of gathering, processing, and repurposing waste resources to create new products is an important one. However, research showed that recycling comprises only 5% of home lifestyles. Thus, this study attempted to find out the factors that influence recycling behaviors of students at UiTM Campus Samarahan 2 towards recycling by adopting the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB).ln general, recycling behavior is influenced by the following factors: contextual, societal, and individual characteristics. In order to gather 320 randomly chosen samples from the six faculty at UiTM Campus Samarahan 2, this study used simple random sampling. Mean and standard deviation, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression tests were used to analyze the data in between analyses. The results demonstrated a significant relationship between the students' recycling behavior and all of the investigated variables. Students' intentions to recycle were most affected by the perceived individual factors, according to the study's results. The findings presented in this chapter highlight the importance of individual factors when determining students' view on recycling. Individual factors significantly influenced recycling habits, with the highest mean of 28.1469, the lowest standard deviation of 4.94043, and a greater beta value of 0.420 than social and contextual factors.
