To fight plastic bottle waste, Hong Kong needs a strong producer responsibility scheme

This plastic waste poses a serious threat to the ecosystem and public health. In Hong Kong, the government’s public consultation for a producer responsibility scheme on plastic drinks bottles is open until May 21.

The spirit of producer responsibility is to make them respect their environmental responsibilities and develop effective recovery and recycling systems, from setting up a convenient collection network to deploying meaningful incentives that will encourage consumers to return used products.
