US adults tend not to believe what they hear about recycling

17 January 2017

Regardless of fact or fiction, a new survey released by the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), shows U.S. adults do not accept common statements made about the recycling industry to be true. When presented a series of statements, four truths and four myths, and asked if each was believable, more than half of the respondents in every case choose not to believe the statement. The true statements, however, were shown to be more believable than those that were false. 73% believed at least one of the true statements, while 22% believed at least one myth to be true. This survey was conducted online within the US among 2,088 adults ages 18 and older (News Item ISRI, 3 January 2017).
