Visual prompts are a kind of visual stimulation, through vectors such as text, pictures, bar charts, and image data which guide and persuade individuals to implement expected behaviors. In recent years, with the variety of electronic products and home appliances, the types and usage of batteries are constantly increasing, and the number of corresponding waste batteries is increasing. Because some of the waste batteries contain many heavy metals and electrolyte solutions, which will cause harm to the human body and the ecological environment, more and more people are paying attention to the pollution of waste batteries and their disposal. It has been demonstrated that visual prompts have the effects of protecting the environment. This paper attempts to study the effects of visual prompts on the recycling behavior of waste batteries and verify whether visual prompt has a positive effect on the recycling behavior of waste batteries by using a control group and an experimental group to compare the experimental methods. The visual prompts were pasted on the waste battery recycling bin and were carried out by GraphPad Prism in order to find an economic and effective way to promote people’s recycling behaviors.
