Abstract

En el Ecuador se registró, durante los primeros meses de pandemia por la enfermedad del coronavirus (COVID-19), un incremento de residuos sólidos, de los cuales, gran parte pertenecen a residuos plásticos. Por lo tanto, este estudio examina la relación del COVID-19 y el consumo de plásticos en los hogares de la ciudad de Loja durante la pandemia, a través de un análisis estadístico con ecuaciones estructurales de mininos cuadrados parciales (PLS-SEM; por sus siglas en ingles), tomando en consideración la teoría del comportamiento planificado (TPB; por sus siglas en ingles). Los resultados nos demuestran que la conciencia ambiental y el COVID-19 inciden y son significativos sobre la demanda de plásticos de los hogares de la ciudad de Loja, mientras que, la variable normas sociales no demuestra tener incidencia ni ser significativa. Por lo tanto, si durante la pandemia se proponían políticas restrictivas menos estrictas, se incentivaba al uso de equipo de protección personal reutilizable y se promovían campañas que motiven a desarrollar una mejor conciencia ambiental, se hubieran reducido la demanda de plásticos en la ciudad de Loja.
