Behavioural insight is a foundation of the EPA’s Circular Economy Programme, providing evidence to inform policy, to inform behavioural change interventions and to inform awareness campaigns.
The EPA contracted Behaviour & Attitudes (B&A) to carry out quantitative research which is the first nationally representative baseline survey on Irish citizens’ attitudes, awareness and behaviours relating to textiles.
