E-waste has globally become an increasingly urgent issue, particularly in developing countries. Although a lot of studies have been conducted, the key themes and development trends in e-waste research have not yet been fully systematized. Understanding the current state of this field not only helps identify pressing issues but also contributes to shaping new research directions. Following that, the study aims to propose a model of the factors influencing consumers’ intention to participate in collection and their recycling behavior toward e-waste. The proposed model incorporates several key factors, including Value, Attitude, Supporting reasons (Environmental Benefits, Personal Benefits), and Opposing reasons (Risk Barriers, Usage Barriers, Value Barriers, and Image Barriers). Additionally, the Intention to Collect is examined to establish a systematic theoretical foundation, thereby contributing to the expansion of the research framework on consumer participation in e-waste collection and recycling.
