Repair: National attitudes and behaviours survey 2022

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 Behaviour & Attitudes (B&A) to carry out quantitative research which is the first nationally representative baseline survey on Irish citizen's attitudes, awareness and behaviours relating to repair.  The fieldwork for the online survey of a nationally representative sample of 1,049 adults ages 16+ was carried out in November 2022.
