UK Survey on packaging, environment and influence of the media

Researchers at the Leeds Beckett University Retail Institute conducted a survey on a representative sample of 1000 adults residing in the UK. They asked a number of questions in regard to their recycling habits, views on packaging and environmental issues, as well as media consumption and the extent to which media influences their views on the environment.
The survey findings show that the BBC is still comfortably the most trusted information source across generations. The survey also shows that ocean plastic pollution is now the leading environmental issue in the minds of consumers and a public debate is occurring with strong calls for stopping the use of plastics by retailers.
