Description

‘To Encourage People Take First Step in Reducing Plastic Bags at Hung Hom Market’

Despite the full implementation of the Plastic Bag Charging Scheme in 2015, the amount of PSBs disposed of at landfills in 2020 was 4.18 billion which increased by 2.6% year-on-year in real terms. Its effectiveness and the scope of coverage are being questioned, for example, plastic bags at wet markets are exempted due to food hygiene reasons. We did an in-depth research into the situation and recognized that there is plastic bag abuse at Hung Hom Wet Market. From our interviews with citizens, they said that it is difficult and challenging to change the current habit of using plastic bags. They did not have the urge to do so because stop using plastic bags might bring inconvenience to them. We would like to change these misconceptions and encourage them to try plastic bag reduction by spreading the message that it actually has a low threshold. We had a progressive approach for the beginners of plastic bags reduction at Hung Hom Wet Market. Instead of asking them to refuse plastic bag
