The results show us that environmental awareness (ß=-0.419; p=0.038) and COVID-19, both in the basic model (ß=0.773; p=0.000) as in the end (ß=0.673; p=0.003), affects and is significant in the demand for plastics of households in the city of Loja, while the variable social norms (ß=0.234; p=0.341) does not prove to have a considerable impact or be significant, so if less strict restrictive policies were proposed during the pandemic, the use of reusable personal protective equipment (PPE) was encouraged and campaigns that motivate better environmental awareness were promoted, the demand for plastics in the city of Loja would have been mitigated |
