Analysis of End-of-Life Vehicle Recycling Based on Theory of Planned Behavior

摘要

It is important to recycle and remanufacture end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) to protect the environment and sustain a green ecological economy. Recycling ratios of ELV are key factors in the development of the recycling and remanufacturing industry. Although there are many factors affecting the recycling ratio of ELV, in this study, we focused on the degree of consumer participation in recycling. In combination with the theory of planned behavior (TPB), we analyzed different factors affecting consumer behavior, constructed a logical relationship between these factors, built reasoning systems, and established rules of how these factors influence one another. We then transformed a qualitative relationship of the reasoning system by using a cloud model and carried out simulations. The model revealed factors affecting consumer participation in ELV recycling ratios. This study provides a new theoretical reference for further research in this field and provides a framework for relevant government departments to develop policies around recycling.
