Abstract

Managing household waste has become a real problem in Australia. One solution is to deal with this dilemma with a circular economy model of waste management; encompassing the repair, reuse and recycling of materials to get as much use out of waste material as possible, identified as a priority for the Victorian State Government. Households play a critical role in all stages of waste management, including reducing, reusing and recycling their waste materials. Research shows undertaking such measures has a dramatic and material impact on the generation of such household waste. This chapter describes a project aimed at evaluating an online interactive training-tool designed to increase awareness of effective household waste management (HWM) strategies. The waste management training-tool will be free and made available to Australian households in Victoria through their mobile phones. The Rasch psychometric model will be used to assess the impact of this waste management training-tool, to provide expected percentages of behavioral improvement.
