SHELTON, Conn., April 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- New survey findings reveal fascinating insights about consumer attitudes toward recycling. TOMRA, a leading manufacturer of reverse vending solutions for collecting, reusing and recycling used cans and bottles, has released findings from its first Recycling Trends and Insights Survey, conducted by Qualtrics. The survey of 1,200 people in six states that have bottle bills was commissioned to determine how, what and where people recycle as well as their concerns about environmental issues.
The survey revealed that the number-one material to recycle is used beverage containers (recycled by 17% of respondents) followed by plastics (16%), cardboard (15%), glass (15%) then paper (14%). Other key findings revealed that 62 percent of the time respondents redeemed their beverage containers for a deposit.
The survey also explored respondents' understanding of container deposit systems as well as their concerns about environmental issues. Below are those key findings:
High deposit knowledge, but wishful recycling
Making a difference, not making money, is key driver
"These survey findings are helpful to TOMRA as we consider ways to share with consumers the many benefits of clean deposit-return recycling," said Chuck Riegle, SVP Government Affairs, TOMRA Systems ASA. "Consumers are sharing with us that they believe recycling serves greater social purposes, and the incentives to redeem containers are a successful motivator."
