| description | Due to the positive effect it has on the environment, while also creating social and
economic value, recycling represents a key factor in the realization of a circular economy
and of sustainable development. For the implementation of efficient programs, the
recycling rate has become a relevant subject to public institutions, but also for the
academia, companies and non-profit associations. The objective of this article is to
determine the influence of the population’s level of education on the recycling rate of
waste. The article has a contribution to the scientific literature, by analyzing the correlation
between education and the recycling rate in Europe, with living conditions and internet
access as control variables. Results of a panel data analysis show that a high percentage of
the population with only primary or lower secondary education, influence negatively the
recycling rate of waste in an economy, while tertiary education has a positive influence on
the level of recycled waste. Therefore, different policies which aim to increase the
education level of the population will have an effect on the recycling rate. |
