ABSTRACT
The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the current knowledge on consumer’ clothing disposal behaviour and to suggest a set of comprehensive future research avenues on this topic, based on the analysis of thirty articles. The contribution of this paper is to outline four areas of future research opportunities to be further explored. First, it is proposed to develop a deeper understanding of consumers’ clothing disposal decision process. Second, it is suggested to foster sustainable clothing disposal behaviours. Third, the article broadens the agenda to explore the role of external facilitators towards more sustainable clothing disposal behaviours. Lastly, it is suggested broadening the range of research design when conducting future studies in the field. This research presents a holistic and comprehensive view of the literature related to consumers’ clothing disposal behaviour. Also, it advances future research avenues, which may generate managerial implications for different types of stakeholders.
