Abstract

This research aims to examine the influence of knowledge on attitudes and behaviors in managing plastic waste. The proliferation of plastic waste in Indonesia is attributed to the environmentally unfriendly practices of its industries. The inadequate management of plastic waste sets the backdrop for this study. The limited research on participatory behaviors in plastic waste management underscores the urgency of this research. A quantitative approach was employed, involving 131 participants selected through purposive sampling based on predefined criteria. The findings indicate that knowledge directly influences attitudes but not behaviors. Attitudes fully mediate the influence of knowledge on behaviors. The implications of the study suggest strengthening attitudes through increased environmental awareness in waste management. Issues related to sustainable environment can be leveraged to enhance awareness in managing plastic waste.
