Behavioural insight is a foundation of the EPA’s Circular Economy Programme, providing evidence to inform policy, to inform behavioural change interventions and to inform awareness campaigns. The EPA contracted ISPSO B&A to carry out quantitative research which is a nationally representative survey on Irish citizen's attitudes, awareness and behaviours relating to food waste.
The fieldwork for the online survey of a nationally representative sample of 1,002 adults ages 16+ was carried out in September & October 2024.
The survey topic areas are presented in a series of four sections.
