II. Raising Awareness in Waste Management

Effective waste collection requires infrastructure, awareness, education and lasting behavioural change.
Through our research and educational programmes, we support residents, public institutions and industrial partners in adopting more sustainable waste management practices.

Our activities

• Research and surveys – questionnaires, interviews and attitude surveys to explore waste collection and composting practices.
• Data-driven analysis – examining Hungarian and international statistics to identify long-term trends and links between waste management and socioeconomic factors.
• Awareness-raising programmes – developing interactive workshops, campaigns and educational materials for schools, public institutions and communities.

Waste Management Education Centre

The Waste Management Education Centre at the University provides an interactive environment for learning and knowledge sharing.

Visitors can:

• explore good practices in sustainable waste management,
• participate in educational and awareness-raising programmes,
• discover first-hand the opportunities offered by the circular economy,
• put their knowledge to the test in our escape room through puzzles and challenges focused on waste management, sustainability and the circular economy.
