In 2023 we funded research to understand and track changes in people’s attitudes, awareness and behaviours around waste minimisation.

This research has been commissioned for the next three years. Each year, the research will focus on measuring and comparing data from relevant policy areas within our work programme.

This year, the focus has been on recycling and reducing behaviours, food waste, plastics and communications around reducing waste.

AK Research and Consulting provided an interactive dashboard to analyse the survey data further.  

This dashboard lets you compare one question with another, enabling you to understand demographic data for individual behaviours. This data can help those undertaking research into waste minimisation behaviours, attitudes and beliefs in Aotearoa New Zealand.  

The dashboard is suited to those doing academic research or familiar with quantitative analysis.

Contact WasteBehaviourChange@mfe.govt.nz to request access to the dashboard.
