Supplementary notes

* The original question was worded by the source as follows: "Which if any of the following do you think would be effective at reducing the problems caused by unnecessary use of plastic and packaging that cannot be recycled?"
** Respondents from 28 countries around the world. Approximately 500 individuals aged between 16 and 65 years were surveyed in Russia.
*** The source specified that Russia produced "a national sample that is more urban & educated, and with higher incomes than their fellow citizens. We refer to these respondents as 'Upper Deck Consumer Citizens'. They are not nationally representative of their country."

Where results do not sum to 100 or the ‘difference’ appears to be+-1 more/less than the actual, this may be due to rounding, multiple responses or the exclusion of don't knows or not stated responses.
