description The rapid growth of e-commerce and busy lifestyles has led to a surge in demand for door-to�door food delivery services in Malaysia. However, the popularity of food delivery services has raised considerable environmental issues regarding the disposal of packaging materials. This study investigates consumer coping strategies towards food packaging waste in the context of food delivery services.
