Abstract

This paper establishes a recycling system for construction waste and simulates the operation of its four links using the theory and method of system dynamics. In addition, based on the technology acceptance model and the theory of planned behavior, a research model on the willingness of purchasers to use recycled products of construction waste is established, and the factors influencing willingness to use recycled products are analyzed using structural equations. Results show that the operation trend of the building waste recycling subsystem and information feedback subsystem is relatively poor. Purchasers’ perceived ease of use of recycled products correlates positively with their perceived usefulness, and attitude toward use correlates positively with behavioral intention, which promotes willingness to use. The attitudes toward use, behavioral intention, and intention to use are all negatively correlated with purchasers’ perceived risk of recycled products, with the negative correlation being stronger for behavioral intention and attitude toward use. The results of this study provide a theoretical foundation for promoting the process of recycling construction waste.
