In Portugal, awareness of the “3R” concept — Reduce, Reuse, Recycle — is fairly balanced across the population. Around one in four people say they are definitely familiar with it, and a similar share say they are somewhat familiar.
However, about the same proportion admit they don’t know it at all, and another are unsure. A smaller group () say they are somewhat unfamiliar.
