Abstract

Given the environmental problems posed by food waste, recycling food leftovers in the home is a solution that should be encouraged. Within the framework of the theory of planned behaviour, this study examines the comparative effects of consumers' intrinsic religiosity and eco-spirituality on their intentions to recycle food leftovers in the home. The results of a survey of more than 500 consumers representative of the French population show that eco-spirituality is an important determinant of intentions and declared behaviour to recycle food scraps, via attitudes to the consumption of food scraps and the subjective norm. Contrary to expectations, intrinsic religiosity has no effect on attitude and subjective norm but exerts a slightly negative influence on intentions. Societal recommendations are drawn from these results.
