| Summary: | The article presents the concept of circular behaviours as part of the implementation of the
circular economy in the daily life of households. These behaviours are considered in relation
to electrical and electronic products. The aim of this article is to analyse the relationship
between the taking up of certain behaviours in relation to these types of products and their
selected effects in the form of benefits perceived by the household. The article presents the
results of the research carried out among Polish households in two regions (N=400). Using
statistical analysis methods (i.e., analysis of correlation, Chi2
independence test, KruskalWallis ANOVA, U Mann-Whitney Test), three research hypotheses were inferred in relation
to 13 circular behaviours and 4 benefits. The results showed that: (1) more frequent circular
behaviour for one product results in repetition of this type of behaviour for others,
(2) households undertaking circular behaviour more frequently (whether in general or
specific) experience higher levels of benefit to their household, (3) socio-demographic
characteristics differentiate households' adoption of circular behaviour to a limited extent,
which applies only to selected aspects or to selected behaviours. |
