Beyond the Bin: Dissecting Factors and Barriers in Food Waste Sorting Among Czech Households

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The study is based on primary questionnaire research, conducted using the CAWI method (N = 1332), and it determines the factors influencing the sorting of food waste (FW) in Czech households. By employing exploratory factor analysis, fourteen key areas were identified, including the availability of sorting options, handling of FW, and financial motivations. Although 86% of respondents expressed a willingness to sort FW, nearly half of them declared that they had no options how to sort it. Significant barriers remain with the lack of containers and the complexity of the FW sorting process. This study contributes to a better understanding of consumer behaviour in the field of waste sorting and provides insight into this issue for future policymaker decisions. The results show that after the introduction of the FW sorting system by policymakers, it is further important to ensure the availability of containers for sorting and to motivate households for this waste sorting, by both raising environmental awareness and providing financial motivations, and minimising the barriers associated with FW sorting.
