This report presents the results of a household survey conducted among 1,303 respondents in six European cities (Antwerpen, Bergen, Gothenburg, Hamburg, Saint-Quentin, and Sint Niklaas) as part of the Digital Kiosks project to better understand the ownership, use and sharing potential of household products. The survey examined household ownership, usage frequency and willingness to borrow a range of household products, as well as the adoption of circular economy initiatives and the baseline motivations and barriers related to sharing stations.
