Abstract

Recently, the number of discarded clothes is growing sharply in China. This study explores the factors that might influence the recycle behavior of college students by structural equation modeling. Then we establish the structural equation modeling to study the multivariate coupling relationship between recycling behavior and various factors, taking the data from questionnaire of colleges in Beijing as the research sample to make an empirical analysis. The empirical analysis results show that: (1) Environment Knowledge, Personal Consumption Concept and Subjective Norms have positive impacts on the recycle behavior of discarded clothes. (2) The importance of three factors is sorted like this: Subjective Norms > Personal Consumption Concept > Environment Knowledge. At the end of the paper, sensible suggestions are put forward.
