This thesis aims to examine the role of consumers in the transition to a circular economy to address the climate crisis. The research focuses on understanding consumer behavior and how their preferences and choices can promote sustainable development. The research examines consumers' views and attitudes towards good practices such as recycling, product reuse, and preferences for products with a low environmental footprint. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data exploring various aspects of consumer behavior, including information, perceptions, motivations, barriers, and consumers' willingness to adopt circular practices in the future. The survey findings revealed that while consumers understand the importance of the circular economy, there are significant barriers to implementing these practices, such as lack of information, perceived higher costs, difficulty in changing habits, and limited access to circular products. The results emphasize the importance of consumer habits and the need to improve consumer information and education, as well as to strengthen supportive public policies to achieve an effective and widespread transition to the circular economy.
