Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Pennsylvania State University, 2021.

What makes spectators comply with recycling programs instead of creating a heap of waste at a sports event? Are images of waste (Figure 1-1) after such large-scale events inevitable? Is recycling burdensome for sports fans enjoying a game and at odds with the celebratory spirit of these events? Why would sports fans support environmental causes but fail to recycle at a game? For now, the nature of public recycling behavior at large-scale events with a significant environmental footprint and fan compliance with recycling programs at these events remain elusive. For sports organizations, accurate recycling behavior can facilitate waste management, increase waste diversion rates, reduce costs, and improve environmental and financial performance. Therefore, we need to understand how sports events affect sports fans and shape their public recycling behavior and what role sports organizations play in engaging fans if we are to reduce the environmental footprint of large-scale sports events.To provide a background for this research, this chapter provides a summary of the greening of the sports industry and the introduction of sports Zero Waste initiatives to divert waste from landfills. It also lays out the problem statement and justification for this study on sports fans' public recycling behavior. Research questions and review of the literature on environmental behavior, particularly in the context of large-scale events such as a sports game are next. The final section lays out the argument for how public recycling behavior of sports fans can be influenced by the status of the game and its effect on fans on one hand and a sports organization's environmental credibility on the other hand.Communities once closely resembled closed loop biological ecosystems where scraps from the table fed the chicken and an older child's old clothes provided the material for the younger one's new clothes. These systems were cyclical and used waste internally as future nourishments. Industrialization has disrupted such closed loop systems. Energy and material are now extracted from the natural ecosystem, converted to products and services through labor and capital and turned into waste which is not re-used by the system but is nonetheless returned to it as a burden. The excessive amounts of waste in the form of pollution, littering and landfills, started to threaten the ecosystem's vital processes humans rely on to survive. Every year waste contributes to an estimated 5% of the total anthropogenic GHG emissions (Dosumu, 2016). More importantly, waste generation is projected to outpace population growth by more than double by 2050 (Kaza, et al., 2018). Handling waste, therefore, has become an existential challenge in the past century (Das, et al., 2019; Strasser, 1999).To face this challenge, environmental movements, recycling programs included, gained momentum across the United States (Lounsbury et al., 2003). Over the past few decades, recycling has changed the disposal of solid waste dramatically. While solid waste generation in the U.S. has increased from 3.7 to 4.9 pounds per person per day between 1980 and 2018, recycling, in this period, has also increased from 10% to around 35% (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2018; United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2016).
