Environmental care is crucial for the sustainability of both individual countries and the global community. Despite this, Malaysia has experienced a phenomenon of decreased purchases of eco-friendly products, which poses a threat to environmental stability. This study aims to identify the factors influencing the purchase of eco-friendly products in Malaysia by utilizing the model proposed by (Olasiuk & Bhardwaj, 2019). A cross-sectional survey methodology was employed, utilizing a questionnaire to collect quantitative data. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to address the research question. Several hypotheses were tested, with four being supported. The findings indicate that knowledge, attitude, and depth of search are positively and significantly associated with the intention to purchase eco-friendly products. The study also discusses the implications of these findings.
