An econometric analysis 2022 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Improving e-waste separate collection rates is of the utmost importance to achieve the environmental targets set in the Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the factors influencing the intentions of Spanish households to separate their e-waste for proper disposal. To this end, we carry out an econometric analysis revealing that the preoccupation with environmental issues is an endogenous regressor, so a bivariate model is required to avoid inconsistent results. The analysis shows that environmental concern and the origin of the individuals are relevant factors that influence the e-waste separation decision. Additionally, we observe an interaction between age and city size, so the effect of one of these factors on the probability of separating e-waste depends on the other factor. Another important result is that several socio-economic variables and knowledge of environmental issues only indirectly affect attitudes, by way of environmental concern. In summary, this study offers a useful methodology to policymakers who have to deal with e-waste management, allowing them to identify the priority groups on which should be focused, as well as to design specific measures tailored to their characteristics. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/INIA/RTA2017-00082-00-00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/ECO2016-75237-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 5.8 2022 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 67 / 275 = 0.244 2022 Q1 T1 0.944 2022 Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis 2022 Q1 Pollution 2022 Q1 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2022 Q1 Environmental Chemistry 2022 Q2 7.9 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Villanúa, Inmaculada Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-3201-4007 4014 225 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
