Analysing selective waste collection habits using the World Café Method: A case study among the students at the University of Pannonia

In this study, one of the aims of applying the World Café Method (WCM) is to identify the barriers to selective waste collection among students at the University of Pannonia. According to the results, the most common barriers that influence selective waste collection behaviour are the lack of willingness, lack of infrastructure, and lack of credible information on separate waste collection. The second goal is to collect, together with the participants, suggestions for solutions to the problems identified, at three different levels. The results of this study could contribute to strengthening a circular economy model that takes into account the interests of society and the economy, including the transformation of habits related to selective waste collection. It will also serve as input for further research and the development of educational content for impacting waste collection habits.
