"Australian households produce about 12 million tonnes of waste every year.
That puts the sector almost on par with manufacturing or construction.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. With support, households can change
patterns of consumption and develop a low-waste lifestyle. Our new research
explores how Australians engage with low-waste living.
We interviewed residents about their existing waste management practices. We
then invited them to design and implement their own six week household
experiments. Their ideas ranged from home gardening and repairs to zero-plastic
cooking and bulk store shopping. And then we brought them all together with
policymakers to share their experiences.
The results show that householders were keen to experiment with change but that
low-waste living is not easy."
