Abstract:
We analyze recycling decisions for bioplastics using a natural field experiment. Bioplastics have environmental benefits – such as reduced energy use in production and enhanced biodegredation – compared to conventional plastics. The field experiment that we set up to test this recycling behavior exploits the setting of a lemonade tasting. We use two types of bioplastics and compare these to conventional plastics in terms of whether subjects recycle the cups according to guidelines.
