Apstrakt

Problem istrošenih baterija kao specifične vrste otpada predstavlja veliki izazov za životnu sredinu, pre svega zbog nepravilnih praksi odlaganja među lokalnim stanovništvom. Cilj ove studije je da istraži svest lokalnog stanovništva o ekološkom uticaju istrošenih baterija, koje se često odbacuju zajedno sa komunalnim otpadom umesto da se pravilno odlažu. Iako 67 % ispitanika izražava zabrinutost zbog ekoloških posledica, 69,63 % njih i dalje nepravilno odlaže iskorišćene baterije, a samo 32 % se oseća dovoljno informisano o ekološkim rizicima. Nalazi ukazuju na hitnu potrebu za ciljanom edukacijom radi podizanja svesti javnosti o pravilnim metodama odlaganja i štetnim efektima lošeg upravljanja otpadom na životnu sredinu. Studija takođe naglašava značaj promovisanja punjivih baterija i razvoja dostupnih punktova za prikupljanje, kako bi se podstaklo pravilno odlaganje. Saradnja sa lokalnim vlastima i usklađivanje sa regulativama EU su ključni za uvođenje održivih praksi upravljanja otpadom.
