However, it is not about the awareness of Poles, but about the low effectiveness of the mechanisms implemented in Poland, which were supposed to help prevent waste and reuse products. One of them is the additional fee imposed on plastic packaging, effective from 1 January 2024, which was supposed to encourage us to use reusable packaging for drinks and food, similarly to plastic bags, which we have been paying for several years. The problem is that <\/p>\n<p> <strong>that 42 percent of respondents never even noticed these additional fees <\/strong>. In contrast, as much as   <strong>56% systematically ignore them because they are usually so low <\/strong>  in relation to the amount on the receipt (on average a few dozen groszy, the most - around PLN 2 per item), that they do not encourage giving up the convenience that the vast majority of respondents see in disposable packaging. \"You don't have to wash them, return them to any point or restaurant, or carry them with you in case of spontaneous decisions to order a takeaway meal\" - respondents also indicated during in-depth focus studies conducted independently by Opinia24.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-4 single-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\"  ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell no-block-padding\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"uncode-single-media  text-left\"><div class=\"single-wrapper\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"><div class=\"tmb tmb-light  tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg\"><div class=\"t-inside\"><div class=\"t-entry-visual\"><div class=\"t-entry-visual-tc\"><div class=\"uncode-single-media-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17849\" src=\"https:\/\/interzero.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/12\/Interzero-Raport-SUP-czesc-13-elementy-02A.png\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" alt=\"Interzero - Raport SUP wi&#281;kszo&#347;&#263;

This was confirmed directly by the respondents themselves - \"Only the choice of cutlery, whether you want additional plastic. This is the only choice I have in the application. When I come and take away, no one asks me either. Or whether to give a bag or take it in your hand\" - said one of the participants of the qualitative research. - \"Usually there is no such option, it is simply one option available in a given place. For example, a \"Chinese\" has its own containers, a pizzeria - pizza cartons and no one asks if we want something else. I didn't have a choice,\" the second one chimed in. \"[...] I'll be honest, since July 1, I've ordered many times, over 15 times or more, and no one either in the restaurant or over the phone has offered me anything like that,\" another respondent pointed out.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-2\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-2\" type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"vc_controls\">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById(\"row-unique-2\"));<\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div><div data-parent=\"true\" class=\"vc_row row-container\" id=\"row-unique-3\"><div class=\"row limit-width row-parent\"><div class=\"wpb_row row-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_column pos-middle pos-left align_left column_parent col-lg-8 single-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\"  ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell no-block-padding\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><\/p>\n<h2>What do the packaging we throw away say about us?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"uncode_text_column\" ><p>In the first part of the report \"In the traps of reusability\", entitled \"The curse of single-use plastic\", we will also read a lot about the eating habits of Poles: what they order most often, where and how they place orders (by phone, apps, in person), what they pay attention to when looking at the packaging offered to them, and what they think about reusable packaging. And these are just some of the conclusions from the qualitative and quantitative studies that were to help diagnose and describe the state of implementation of the directive on single-use plastics in Poland. The qualitative studies included interviews with 24 people, the quantitative CAWI studies were conducted on a nationwide representative sample of 1,000 people.
