Abstrakt
The residential sector generates around 14% of the overall waste production in the
Czech Republic. This essential share requires special attention to analyze with particular
emphasis for citizen education, especially on young people. Thus, this research is dedicated to
citizens' awareness about packaging waste to increase their knowledge. The experiment was
conducted in the form of a survey, and students from a Czech university were asked to estimate
the weight of the packaging waste presented to them in term to verify their knowledge about
packaging waste. This experiment featured different groups of students over time. The result
showed no difference in knowledge between these student groups over time. The long-term home
study caused by COVID-19 did not appear to have affected students' knowledge of packaging
waste. This study showed students' actual knowledge about packaging waste and highlighted the
gap and importance of education in waste management.
