⭐ Highly-viewed paper ⭐
We are pleased to feature: “Understanding Young Consumers’ E-Waste Recycling Behaviour in Bangladesh: A Developing Country Perspective” by Md Hasibul Islam et al.

🌍 This study examines the key drivers of e-waste recycling behavior among young consumers in Bangladesh, highlighting economic benefits, moral norms, perceived behavioral control, and pro-environmental goals as major influencing factors. The findings also reveal an intention–behavior gap shaped by perceived risk, offering important insights for policy and sustainable waste management strategies.
