This infographic displays the key findings of the published report "PLASTICS: Attitudes and behaviours in Ireland 2019-2021". Plastics is a priority area of the EPA-led Circular Economy Programme. One of the ways the programme works is through providing data and evidence, building knowledge and informing policy. To provide baseline information on the Irish public’s behaviours & attitudes to plastic and plastic waste, the EPA commissioned Behaviour & Attitudes (‘B&A’) to conduct online surveys of nationally representative samples of adults aged 16+ and report on the findings.
