The increasing amount of waste generated by households requires specific action because of the need for change dictated by the circular economy. To this end, it is necessary to diagnose the key characteristics of households that can influence the way their members manage their waste and then develop circular behaviours. This paper is an attempt to identify the key characteristics of households that can influence the way their members manage their waste. In the article, the authors present a literature review on circular economy in the field of household members' behaviour. The main objective is a statistical analysis of the differences in the way of managing waste due to the socio-economic characteristics of the households, which was carried out using data from one of the authors' own research. Within the analysis, the authors presented the socio-economic profile of the person who manages the waste carefully. Seven hypotheses were tested in the article. Only three were confirmed.

Rosnąca ilość odpadów generowanych przez gospodarstwa domowe wymaga podjęcia określonych działań ze względu na konieczność zmian dyktowanych przez gospodarkę cyrkularną. W tym celu konieczne jest zdiagnozowanie kluczowych cech gospodarstw domowych, które mogą wpływać na sposób gospodarowania odpadami przez ich członków, a następnie na kształtowanie zachowań cyrkularnych. Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą identyfikacji kluczowych cech gospodarstw domowych, które mogą wpływać na sposób, w jaki ich członkowie gospodarują odpadami. W artykule autorzy przedstawiają przegląd literatury na temat gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym w zakresie zachowań członków gospodarstw domowych. Głównym celem jest analiza statystyczna różnic w sposobie gospodarowania odpadami ze względu na cechy społeczno-ekonomiczne gospodarstw domowych, która została przeprowadzona z wykorzystaniem danych z badań własnych przeprowadzonych przez jednego z autorów. W ramach analizy autorzy przedstawili profil społeczno-ekonomiczny osoby starannie gospodarującej odpadami. W artykule przetestowano siedem hipotez. Tylko trzy zostały potwierdzone.
