Survey of opinions and behaviours regarding home composting, alongside experimental data for disintegration and degradation of compostable materials, UK, 2019-2023
This dataset is from a UK citizen science study called the Big Compost Experiment, and includes 1) Qualitative and numerical survey data from UK citizens about their opinions and behaviours towards biodegradable and compostable plastics, food waste disposal and home composting, and 2) Qualitative and numerical data from home composting experiments carried out on biodegradable and compostable plastic materials. Data includes opinions and behaviours towards biodegradable and compostable plastics, food waste disposal, home composting methods, geographical location, observed disintegration and degradation performance of compostable plastics in home compost. Data were collected between 07/11/2019 - 30/08/2023 Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/1e5da176-6697-46e1-bbad-d275c100e103

Data was collected from participants via an online survey and an optional home composting experiment account. The survey comprised questions about opinions and behaviours towards biodegradable and compostable plastics, food waste and composting behaviours. The home composting experiment comprised self selecting compostable materials and testing them in participant home composters and sharing results about disintegration and degradation of the material after a participant’s normal composting timeframes via an online account. Data were analysed by the UCL Plastic Waste Innovation Hub research team (Purkiss et al., 2022).
