Green behaviour: difference in recycling behaviour between the home and the workplace.

McDonald, Seonaidh

Abstract

In 2008 the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency reported that commercial waste amounted to 5.75 million tonnes, compared with 2.94 million tonnes of domestic waste. Despite the fact that waste arising in commercial premises is nearly double that produced by households in the UK, the study of recycling in the workplace is less common than the study of recycling at home (Marans & Lee, 1993).
