Popis: The objective was to diagnose the behavior of the population in Peru regarding the consumption of single-use plastic bags. For the survey, a 26-question semi-structured questionnaire was used, made up of four dimensions: primary information, consumption styles, environmental knowledge and tendency to change. The sample was 1,400 people in person and online during 2019. In relation to primary information, 3 to 5 individuals live per home; people with a university degree and without instruction prevail, made up of independent workers, the female sex being the dominant, aged 20 to 40 years. Regarding consumption styles, respondents make their purchases in retail markets and supermarkets, coming from one to two times a week, they do not carry any materials to store their purchases and they receive plastic bags from these establishments. Regarding environmental knowledge, they prefer plastic bags to carry their purchases because they have no cost. Regarding the environmental impact, they mention that they do know, but have no other option, receiving 6 to 10 bags per purchase that are disposed of for the disposal of garbage. Finally, for the tendency to change, they prefer that the establishments stop providing the bags free of charge, so as not to contaminate, preferring that reusable bags be delivered, and they are willing to pay up to 5 cents per bag. Finally, policies are required to guide consumers to the use of single-use plastic bags. El objetivo fue diagnosticar el comportamiento de la población en el Perú sobre el consumo de bolsas de plástico de un solo uso. Para la encuesta se utilizó un cuestionario semiestructurado de 26 preguntas, compuesto de cuatro dimensiones: información primaria, estilos de consumo, conocimiento ambiental y tendencia al cambio. La muestra fue de 1400 personas en forma presencial y virtual durante el 2019. En relación a la información primaria, viven de tres a cinco individuos por vivienda, prevalecen personas con grado universitario y sin instrucción, compuesta por trabajadores independientes, siendo el sexo femenino el dominante, con edad de 20 a 40 años. Sobre los estilos de consumo, los encuestados realizan sus compras en mercados minoristas y en supermercados, acudiendo de una a dos veces por semana, no llevan ningún material para almacenar sus compras y reciben bolsas de plástico de estos establecimientos. Referente al conocimiento ambiental, prefieren bolsas de plástico para trasladar sus compras por no tener costo. Referente al impacto ambiental, mencionan que sí conocen, pero no cuentan con otra opción, recibiendo de seis a 10 bolsas por compra que son dispuestas para la eliminación de la basura. Finalmente, para la tendencia al cambio, prefieren que los establecimientos dejen de facilitar gratuitamente las bolsas, para no contaminar, prefiriendo que se entreguen bolsas reutilizables, y están dispuestos a pagar hasta cinco céntimos de sol por bolsa. Finalmente, se requieren políticas para orientar a los consumidores a l uso de bolsas de plástico de un solo uso.
