Millennium Fellowship Project: Behavioral Impact of Torn Plastic Wrappers
The project explores the behaviors and habits people exhibit when unwrapping plastic-based wrappers, focusing on how these practices contribute to plastic waste generation. As plastic pollution continues to pose a significant environmental challenge, understanding the connection between consumer behavior and improper disposal of plastic wrappers is vital for designing more effective waste management solutions. By collecting data on how people interact with plastic packaging, the research aims to identify patterns that can lead to targeted behavioral change interventions.
