Keywords:
Circular economy, recycled products, plastic goods, environment protectionAbstract
The circular economy is the key to the protect the environment, but there is a need to make the people aware about the new changes and the need to save the natural resources by using recycled products. The use of plastics and non useable goods has hampered the health of the economy in tremendous ways which needs to be stopped. With the help of the current research, the efforts have been made to diagnose the level of awareness amongst people of different age groups, qualifications and professional background about the recycled products and what is the perception they have in their minds for the same. An interview cum discussion method was used to collect data from people in Chandigarh followed by certain similar set of questions to get a clear view of their perception about such products.References
