This study aims to explain the consumer sustainable clothing disposal behavior. We examined the factors that influence clothing donation intention behavior. This empirical study used data from 109 respondents in Indonesia. Data were collected through self-reported survey questionnaire using convenience sampling methods. Regression analysis was conducted to statistically amylase the data and tests the hypothesis. The findings show that attitude toward environment and attitude toward clothing donation positively influence clothing donation intention. Environmental attitude has a higher coefficient. Environmental concerns have a positive influence clothing donation intention through environmental attitude, besides, environmental concerns also positively influence clothing donation intention through attitude toward clothing donation. Emotional value has a positive influence on environmental attitudes whereas it does not influence attitudes toward clothing donations. Furthermore, religiosity does not have any influence on environmental attitudes and attitudes toward clothing donations. This study contributes to the theory of clothing disposal behavior and has a further implication to related studies.

We suggested further study to implement our model with a different clothing disposal method such as recycling.
