"Are you familiar with the 3R concept?"
Key Takeaways
Despite Germany’s reputation for environmental leadership, the 3R concept Reduce, Reuse, Recycle remains largely unfamiliar to its citizens. A striking 46.8% say they definitely don’t know it, while another 20.9% lean toward unfamiliarity. Even more telling: only 4% feel confident in their knowledge. This gap is surprising in a country known for its bottle deposit system (Pfand) and one of the highest recycling rates globally. The disconnect suggests that while sustainable actions are embedded in daily life, the terminology and educational framing haven’t caught up. Campaigns may be driving compliance, but not comprehension.
