Abstract |
A number of factors are important and key to achieving sustainable manufacturing in the plastic industry. Recycling has received considerable attention as a key to sustainability. It contributes to resource utilization and waste management. To achieve sustainability, a number of stakeholders are involved and households are a key aspect. A survey of 445 households is conducted to establish factors that prevent households from participating in plastic recovery and recycling programs. The results indicate relevant factors for consideration by the plastic industries and policy makers when designing recycling and recovery programs. (C) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. |
