Young People's Involvement in Reused Cooking Oil

Abstract

Uncontrolled recycling practices have led to increased waste disposal in landfills over the past ten years, especially using cooking oil. If more young folks choose to recycle their wasted cooking oil and turn it into more affordable biodiesel fuel, this issue may be avoided. Thus, to better understand young adults' intentions to recycle, this study looks at the relationships between attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, environmental values, and moral standards. A survey was created and disseminated online to reach university students in Peninsular Malaysia. The investigation results demonstrated a significant association between the influence of perceived behavioral control, environmental values, and subjective norms on young adults. Moral standards and attitude, however, did not significantly correlate. While businesses can enhance their marketing strategies, policymakers should concentrate on recycling measures. Outreach efforts in the form of education and community initiatives can help to encourage sustainable behaviors. This will make it easier to optimize the procedures involved in resource recovery and lessen environmental damage.
