The objective of this paper is to investigate the disposition to recycle plastic PET bottles in the generation of Millennials, considering some external variables as agents influencing this provision. These external factors, for this thesis, are the habits in the home, in the workplace and social networks. The sample with which we have worked is of 364 people from the age range of 18 to 37 years old, considered within the Millennials generation, from different districts of Metropolitan Lima and Callao and also who are currently working. These filters were necessary to consider them in order to validate the external variables selected in this study. Some demographic aspects such as age, district of residence, level of studies reaching, among others, have also been considered, as they can influence the disposition to recycle PET plastic bottles in the aforementioned generation. All the aspects mentioned above have been developed in this thesis. The purpose of this work is to promote a culture of recycling, which is fundamental to mitigate the negative impacts generated by plastics in the environment. This study has focused on the recycling of PET plastic bottles, the main reason is that there is a considerable increase in the consumption of products packed in PET, which has been generated because the companies of food and beverages, mainly, has chosen to use PET to package their products. The characteristics of this input such as high malleability, transparency and high resistance to corrosion and wear have made it qualified as the most suitable for packaging food and beverages intended for human consumption (Cisneros & Sánchez, 2014). Likewise, this work has focused on a specific segment of people, the Millennials generation, since it has more diffusion power due to the easy access they have in social networks, a means of communication, each time, more massive.
