Wanted: Study participants

Consumers of all ages have the opportunity to become part of an exciting project of the joint research projects VerPlaPoS and MaReK. For the study, consumers will collect their packaging waste over a period of two weeks and record additional information in a "waste diary". They learn about their packaging waste and receive an additional €40 for their contribution to combating packaging waste.

The data will be evaluated by a team of researchers led by Prof. Dr. Klaus Menrad from the TUM Campus Straubing in cooperation with the Pforzheim University of Applied Sciences and the University of Stuttgart. Together the researchers want to find out how much and which packaging waste accumulates in German households and, in addition, identify the disposal routes for selected products.
