  10. Waste Analysis

  11. Opinion Survey • November 2008 • Questionnaires personally dispensed and – after a while recollected - by Waste Consultants or Students of Commercial Colleges, • filled in self-dependently • Return Rate: 42%387 Questionnaires out of 928 Apartments, 383 analysable • representative for Niederösterreich

  12. Opinion Survey Current State of: • Approach • Knowledge • Self-Description • Reasons • Valuation of Measures

  13. „If I must throw away food…“ I don't think about it I don't care I am sorry, but it happens It disturbs me a lot n/a

  14. „Do you agree?“ I do not agree I do not agree fully I rather agree I agree fully One hears a lot about food in the waste This problem is exaggerated To throw away food costs money To throw less food prevents waste

  15. „How much food do you throw away – compared to others?“ much less little less same little more much more

  16. Applicable to your Household? yes missing no Rather no Rather yes I am using rests to cook I go for shopping with shopping list I often buy more than is written on the shopping list Food is inedible before the expiring date I often cook more than we eat We like to try new recipes

  17. Valuation of Measures Very effective: Information about good food storage; Information how to identify the edibility; Smaller packages; Shopping list Effective: Tips how to use rests of food; Tips how to conserve food; Information about warming of food Not really effective: Personal consultation; Data base for recipes on the Internet

  20. Waste Analysis 2009 Residual Waste: - 21 % Preventable Food Biowaste: + 13 % Preventable Food All in all: - 11 % Preventable Food

  21. Results of the Opinion Survey 1 • Respondents felt more responsible for throwing away food instead of accusing the industry and the commerce. • Respondents said that they throw away less food than before the start of the project. • Almost 1/3 said that their way of handling food had changed compared to the previous year. • About half of them – thats 1/6 of all respondents - trace this back to the project.

  22. Results of the Opinion Survey 2 Noted Best: • Stickers on the Bins of Residual Waste • Articles in local Newspapers • Clipboard with Writing Pad for Shopping Lists Rated Best: • Clipboard with Writing Pad for Shopping Lists • Stickers on the Bins of Residual Waste • Placard about the Mixture of the Residual Waste of the specific Appartment Complex

  23. Facts Filling in the opinion survey was a measure itself. „Noted Best“ and „Rated Best“ does not always mean „Takes the Best Effect“. Preventing foodwaste means: Change of lifestyles – therefore needs long-term measures. Still the Pilot Project shows: Basics for modifications of awareness and behaviour can be layed in a 1 years project.
