dc.description.abstractKnowledge has produced technologies that have helped to transform product packaging; therefore, many products in liquid form that were formerly in glass bottles are now packaged in plastic bottles, considering the cost effect and portability of the bottles. This transformation has generated proliferation of used plastic bottles and more waste. While several frameworks are in place to manage used plastic bottles, the anticipated outcome is yet to materialize. Hence, this study set out to identify the specific socio-cultural factors that influence the recommended frameworks to manage plastic bottle waste and how this manifests. The study covered the high-density residential areas of Ile-Ife. Purposive sampling technique was employed to select the 16 electoral wards that covered the study location and 2 streets from each of the wards. Also, 2 adult informants were purposively selected in each street, making an aggregate sample size of 64 for this study. An in-depth face-to-face interview was conducted to obtain the primary data for this study. The garnered data was analyzed using content analysis. The study found and concluded that the residents’ attitude, economic conditions and activities, level of knowledge, belief, perception, customs and traditions were the specific socio-cultural factors influencing plastic bottle waste management in the study location.en_US
