Sažetak
Pollution and waste represent an existential threat to human health and environmental degradation. Whether waste will constitute problem or a resource all depends on how we manage it. This paper reviews perceptions of citizens about waste management. This study aims to assess the perceptions of the general public and to analyze the information and awareness of citizens about household waste management in Croatia, as well as their attitudes towards environmental issues. It is important to make citizens aware of the importance of recycling and zero waste habits because every individual action matters. The survey was conducted with a questionnaire and it was found that most responders separate waste from their households, but most of the responders believe that they are moderately informed about proper waste treatment.
