Consumer behavior is an important factor in defining the success of sustainable consumption and production, but research on its role remains less explored. In particular, circular strategies to improve resource efficiency through interaction with daily life are difficult to succeed in unless public acceptance is considered. This is one reason why consumer behavior related to waste reduction and reuse (2R) should be focused in waste management. In this study, we conducted an online survey on the 2R behaviors for pro-environmental citizens. We asked about experiences and obstacles in refusing single-use products (9 types), using reusable products, buying unpackaged products, repairing broken goods, sharing products, buying used goods, and donating used goods (even with monetary rewards). Additionally, the emotions felt during doing 2R behaviors were investigated. According to the results, respondents had the highest experience with "donating used goods" and the lowest with "sharing products" among the 2R behaviors. Regarding the obstacles of 2R behaviors, "refusing single-use products" was the highest, and "buying used goods" was the lowest. In response to the feelings they felt while doing 2R behaviors, respondents answered "proud" as a positive emotion and "doubt about the effect" as a negative emotion the highest. Also we discussed the limitations of individual practice, and the social impacts, and finally policy tasks are presented to create a society where the 2R can be easily practiced.
