Key Takeaways

In Italy, awareness of the 3R concept (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) is strikingly low, with over 62% openly lack familiarity. Even more telling, 18% are unsure, suggesting the term itself has yet to penetrate mainstream vocabulary despite decades of EU waste-reduction directives. This gap between practice and terminology may stem from sustainability campaigns that focus on single actions (like recycling) without framing them in the broader 3R hierarchy. Given recent debates over Italy’s waste exports and the push for a circular economy under the EU Green Deal, raising conceptual awareness could help align daily habits with systemic goals.
