The purpose of the endline survey is to assess the progress made towards improving knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding plastic bottle collection and recycling among households, as well as their engagement with the Recycling Business Unit (RBU) in the targeted areas covered by the project. This survey will measure the changes in key indicators and intermediate results outlined in the project’s objectives. Additionally, the endline survey will provide valuable insights into the evolution of plastic bottle waste generation by communities, particularly in relation to informal waste pickers and bhangaris. It will evaluate shifts in their self-practice, management systems, awareness, knowledge, and connections with supporting actors since the baseline study, offering a comprehensive understanding of the project's impact and effectiveness.
