"How do you apply the 3Rs in your life?"
Key Takeaways
Recycling leads the way. 48.7% of French respondents actively recycle at home or work, signaling a habit shaped by long-standing national waste policies and color-coded bin systems. Waste reduction (40.2%) and reusing items (36.7%) follow closely, showing that many actions tied to the 3R concept are already embedded in daily routines, even if the term itself remains unfamiliar to most. Composting, at 36.5%, benefits from growing municipal programs, especially in cities like Rennes or Nantes. Yet deeper forms of engagement such as choosing recycled products (29.4%) or aiming to reduce landfill pressure (20.8%) trail behind, pointing to less visible or less incentivized behaviors.
