Recycling Tracker, Spring 2024 insights
The latest Recycling Tracker results from Spring 2024 will be published during Recycle Week 2024. The annual survey has been running since 2004, and tracks the knowledge, attitudes, and claimed recycling behaviours of people from across the UK.
These webinars will provide the opportunity to delve deeper into the report findings for England and for Northern Ireland. It will highlight the key learning opportunities from the research, look at how WRAP and its campaign partners might use this evidence to develop technical and communications support, and how you can apply the insights to effect positive behaviour change in your waste and recycling service.
