ReWell - Waste recycling for planetary wellbeing

The project analyses the changes that Catalan households’ waste generation and recycling behaviour has experienced in the recent times (due to Covid-19, the economic downturns or changes in consumer behavior) . It aims to identify their sociodemographic and psychographic triggers and to develop environmental indicators of their effects on climate change. The research pays special attention to aspects with long-lasting effects and to contribute to the development of enhanced waste reduction/collection programs, to generate knowledge that contributes to the urgent need to mitigate the environmental impacts of waste to enhance Planetary Wellbeing.
