The two bodies said that while 94% of UK adults claim to recycle plastic \u201cat least most of the time\u201d, this isn\u2019t reflected in national plastic recycling rates. They commissioned the independent study, also launching the initiative PlasticRecyclingFacts.org.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign is designed to \u201cincrease customer confidence in recycling\u201d by utilising online influencers and social media content. The site also includes an information hub dedicated to educating consumers about the importance of plastic recycling. The independent study combined national polling and qualitative interviews. 60% of UK adults claim to \u201calways\u201d recycle plastic, with another 34% stating that they \u201cusually\u201d do.<\/p>\n<p>Those that answered \u201calways recycle\u201d were found to be mainly female and older, and typically found in Wales and the South West of England. Results of the survey highlighted two main barriers to effective plastic recycling within UK households \u2013 time pressure and confusion. Households with children aged 0-10 are said to be \u201cless likely\u201d to recycle (lower than 40%) due to having less time. 70% of respondents said that they would recycle more plastics if they were \u201cbetter informed\u201d on which plastics can be recycled at home, suggesting that better communication could improve the issue of low recycling rates.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.letsrecycle.com\/news\/confusion-and-lack-of-time-are-barriers-for-plastic-recycling-survey-shows\/\">Let&#8217;s Recycle<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-497\/\">Confusion and lack of time are barriers for plastic recycling, survey shows<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[13870,575,1191],"class_list":["post-129149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-attitude","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-recycling"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129149"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129149\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
