Report – Making recycling work for people in flats: evaluation

This report evaluates the the Making recycling work for people in flats research project using Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) of recycling performance. 

The report is an initial effort to unpack the conditions that are necessary and/or sufficient to observe higher recycling capture rates from flatted properties.

About the Making recycling work for people in flats project

This two-year research project was delivered by ReLondon in partnership with housing association Peabody and six inner London boroughs. 

The aim was to better understand the barriers to recycling for people who live in purpose-built flats and identify practical measures that could be taken by housing providers, building managers and service providers to remove those barriers. The desired outcome was to improve the quantity and quality of recycling collected from purpose-built flats across the capital.
