Abstract

The recent phenomenon where people are increasingly concerned with appearance and how they look, leads to the increase of cosmetics and skincare consumption, especially in big cities among young people. Consequently, the waste generated from the products packaging, which mostly are made of plastic, paper, glass, and aluminium, are also increasing. To minimize the environmental burden caused by this packaging waste, the participation of consumers in the 3R (Reduce Reuse Recycle) activities of the product packaging they use plays an important role. This research aimed to identify the role of consumers participation in reducing waste generation and the factors affecting their intention is also analyzed. This research was conducted in Surabaya involving respondents from university students with the age range of 16-30 years old. Secondary data from literature and primary data from the online survey were collected to complete this study. Participation intention was examined according to the Theory of Planned Behavior by Ajzen with the three factors being analyzed which are attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control. Through online questionnaires distributed using the Zoho survey, the data of cosmetic packaging waste generation rate and composition was obtained. Furthermore, the designed questionnaire also revealed the factors that most influence students' participation intention. The data were analyzed using various tests such as validity, reliability, Likert scale, and Spearmen rank correlation tests to identify the correlation between variables and determine the greatest influence. The cosmetics packaging waste was found to be generated at the rate of 1 package/person/month for skincare product, and 0.3 package/person/month for makeup product. Materials used for the package were mostly bottles and palettes made of plastics especially PET. The factor that has the greatest influence on students' intention on participating in cosmetic waste reduction was found to be perceived behavior control.
