The feedback loop proposed by Lilley (1997) illustrated how the changes of generated waste affect attitudes and behaviors as shown in Fig. 2.Similarly, an increase in CW generation would bring an increase in attitudes toward reducing CW. On the other hand, the increase in attitudes toward reducing CW would likely promote CW reduction …
