The surveys on waste measurement, household expenditures, and questionnaire on 3R behavior and attitudes for citizens in Okayama city were conducted. The applicant analyzed the interrelationships among waste generation rates by detail category, demographics, lifestyles, 2R behavior, and household expenditure. The predictive models on waste generation rates were also developed by household expenditures.
The applicant held experience-based events for raising awareness, understanding, and intention for 3Rs/4Rs, and measured the effects of the events by questionnaire surveys. By using the predictive models on recycling behavior, the applicant also quantified the effects on recycling rates and 3Rs by the events.
As a tool for 3R behavior modification, the applicant developed a beverage provided by returnable bottle. To improve citizens’ understanding on the mitigation effect on environmental load by “Reuse”, the CO2 mitigation effect by “Reuse” was displayed on the label of the beverage.
