In London, plastic accounts for 9% of household waste by weight. 70% of which is plastic packaging, and the majority is single-use. The everyday choices we make, as consumers, play a key part in reducing plastic waste and pollution.

This survey is being conducted by North London Waste Authority. The survey is open to people who are 18 years old or older and who live in the borough of Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey and Islington. 

We would like hear your opinion about switching to reusable alternatives (e.g. water bottles, coffee cups, carrier bags or containers). Throughout this survey, please refer to your own experiences, beliefs and behaviours when answering the questions.  There are no “right” or “wrong” answers. Your opinion is important to us - please be as honest with us as you can.  

The data will be anonymised and analysed by a research body. The data will help inform our activities and form part of a final report where all data will be presented anonymously, without any means of identifying anyone involved. The findings may also be shared at conferences and with our constituent boroughs.  For more details of our Data Protection and Privacy Policy visit https://www.nlwa.gov.uk/data-protection.
