Description

The aim of the Research into Litter Composition, including Composition of Dropped Versus Binned Project, is to obtain, analyse and add value to data on litter composition, including composition of dropped versus binned litter, with data on brands of litter items as well as litter type.

The data required will inform policy development, particularly around extended producer responsibility and to assist the Litter Strategy for England.

This project survey will cover all types of litter, not just packaging. The project will build on previous research and surveys of litter composition by providing an up to date assessment of composition and identifying in detail which litter items and brands are most likely to be: (i) dropped on the ground, (ii) go into a general public bin (and so into residual waste), (iii) go into a public recycling bin. Brand information will be collected in the survey but kept anonymised in any published report).
