Abstract

Faced with the environmental problems posed by food waste, recycling food leftovers within the household is a solution to be encouraged. Within the framework of the model of social norms activation, the present study examines the compared effects of intrinsic religiosity and eco-spirituality of consumers in activating an injunctive social norm favorable to food waste recycling behaviors within the household. The results of a survey conducted among over 500 consumers representative of the French population show that only eco-spirituality would be likely to activate this injunctive norm, thus leading to food leftovers recycling behaviors; the effect of the norm on behaviors being partially mediated by anticipated guilt. Societal recommendations are drawn from these results.
