Derasat and SCE opinion poll maps societal awareness on the hazards of plastic waste

Date: September 25, 2023

The Bahrain Center for Strategic, International, and Energy Studies (Derasat), is collaborating with the Supreme Council for Environment (SCE) to conduct an opinion poll aimed at assessing society’s awareness of the environmental hazards associated with waste from disposable plastic products used in households and businesses. Given the widespread popularity and excessive presence of such products, the survey will encompass 700 participants representing a diverse cross-section of Bahraini society. The primary objective is to examine consumption patterns, motivations, and preferences concerning the usage of plastics or potential alternatives. Moreover, the survey will emphasize the individual’s role in reducing their personal plastic consumption.
