Popis:	Objective Rigid plastics are accepted by Australian recycling facilities but soft forms are not. Further, single-use soft plastic may only be used once but can take 400 years to break down. As only 12% of plastic is recycled, increasing recycling of soft plastic will decrease negative environmental impacts. This study aims to assess the applicability of temporal self-regulation theory to identify factors that correlated with soft plastic recycling. Method Participants (N = 318) completed a cross-sectional online questionnaire measuring connectedness beliefs, temporal valuations, intention, habit, self-control and behaviour. Results Connectedness beliefs and temporal valuations accounted for significant variance in intention (R2 = .13, p
