Contamination: A review of the evidence

This webinar reviews the existing evidence and new qualitative research on why people contaminate and what are the implications for intervention development and local authority communications.

Key points:

  • WRAP reviewed information from its annual Recycling Tracker Survey and other published reports to look for trends in behaviours and levels of understanding about correct recycling.
  • This informed qualitative research which was carried out on recycling/ contamination behaviours.
  • Results of the research are discussed, together with how local authorities can use this evidence to build a more effective business case to act on contamination.

Presented by WRAP's Debbie Slater, Mark Roberts and Julia Bragg.
