- Atitudes e Comportamentos de Separação de Embalagens Usadas na Comunidade Intermunicipal da Região de LeiriaPublication . Fernandes, Maria Eduarda; Gomes da Silva, Carlos; Gaspar Ferreira, Alcina; Febra, Lígia; Maurício Costa, JoãoA Comunidade Intermunicipal da Região de Leiria (CIMRL) é composta por 10 Municípios, com cerca de 287 mil habitantes (INE, 2022) e recolhe anualmente 123 022 toneladas de resíduos sólidos urbanos, dos quais apenas 17% são recolhidos de forma seletiva (INE, 2025). Neste contexto, e enquadrado no Projeto Embalagem do Futuro (PPS08), é importante compreender melhor os comportamentos e atitudes dos agregados familiares da CIMRL face à separação de embalagens usadas (plástico, metal/alumínio, vidro, cartão/papel e cápsulas de café). Tendo por base a Theory of Planned Behavior, uma das principais teorias usadas para compreender a complexidade do comportamento social humano, as normas morais e os valores pro-ambientais, foi realizado um inquérito online junto dos agregados familiares da CIMRL.
- Attitudes and Behaviours Regarding the Sorting of Used Packaging in the Intermunicipal Community of the Leiria RegionPublication . Fernandes, Maria Eduarda; Silva, Carlos Gomes da; Ferreira, Alcina Gaspar; Febra, Lígia; C., João MaurícioThis eBook, developed within the scope of the Embalagem do Futuro® Project (PPS08), summarizes the main findings of a study on household behaviours and attitudes towards the sorting of used packaging (plastic, metal/aluminium, glass, cardboard/paper, and coffee capsules) in the Intermunicipal Community of the Leiria Region (CIMRL). Based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, one of the main theoretical frameworks used to understand the complexity of human social behaviour, together with moral norms and pro-environmental values, an online survey was conducted among households in the CIMRL. From the 1 113 validated responses, the results show a very positive attitude towards sorting used packaging, along with a sense of social pressure, moral obligation, and responsibility to do so. Households report that sorting is easy, that they have the knowledge to sort correctly, and that they hold strong proenvironmental values. Respondents declare that they sort all or almost all of their packaging waste: plastic (83%), metal/ aluminium (78%), glass (90%), and cardboard/paper (84%). Municipal recycling bins located in public spaces are the most frequently used collection points, except for coffee capsules, which are mainly deposited in recycling stations located in commercial establishments. Although most households are still unfamiliar with reverse vending machines, they express a strong intention to use them in the future and to recommend them to friends and family.
