Abstract

E-waste productioncontainsdamaged, obsolete, non-functional, old, or expired goods, which are allocatedinto two sources: industrial and household production. Disposing e-waste will hurt public well-being. This study was conductedto examine the effectsof environmental law and policy on the connectionsbetween environmental attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and e-waste recycling. The chosen study location was the southern region of Malaysia, and consisted of selected individualresidents. The methodology used was quantitative, and this study used a questionnaire as the primary material; 258 respondents answered the survey. The data investigationmethodused was moderated regression analysis. This study concludes that environmental attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control positively affect e-waste recycling behavior. Interaction investigationin regression shows that environmental laws and regulations can developthe controlof environmental attitudes and subjective norms on e-waste recycling behavior. In contrast, environmental laws and regulations do not moderate the correlationbetweenperceived behavioral control and e-waste recycling. Thus, the Malaysian government requires a strong legal and institutional structurefor environmental protection and self-control practices to foster sustainable development.
