政府對違禁氧化式可分解膠解說求其零勸籲逾 70 間零售商大型網店或誤售綠惜地球促請環保署加強解說及監管

政府管制即棄塑膠首階段實施至今一周年，惟綠惜地球調查發現，逾 70 間零售商、非牟利團體、機構、大型網店及網購平台等，仍有售賣標榜「環保」、「可分解」或「可分解」的受管制氧化式可分解塑膠產品，貨品多為寵物拾便袋，亦有食物保鮮膠袋、垃圾袋或氧化分解添加劑原材料。綠惜地球批評環保署對氧化式可分解塑膠產品的解說資料馬虎含糊，亦從未發出勸籲，或令不少商戶誤墜法網，當局須廣泛解說，並全面淘汰該類產品。

垃圾應該運到內地處理嗎？

最近北京召開「兩會」，有高層官員稱，正探討香港可否把垃圾送往內地集中處理。首先要談的是，官員稱的「垃圾」，其實指的是什麼呢？京、滬、穗、深等大型城市已實行強制垃圾分類多年，在這些城市，垃圾須分成廚餘垃圾、可回收物、有害垃圾和其他垃圾四類，當中當然也包括了市民常常回收的紙料、金屬、塑膠、廢舊電器等等。垃圾應否運到內地處理的討論，早在去年年中出現，當時環境及生態局局長也強調，與內地探討「無廢灣區」，意思是討論跨境回收，而非把香港的垃圾直接送到內地焚燒或棄置。

Hong Kong shouldn’t water down its producer responsibility scheme

The Hong Kong government recently released details about the producer responsibility scheme for single-use plastic drink containers and sought approval for a common legislative framework for the efficient management of different products. While I fully support the framework, I am disappointed by the weakness of the proposal compared to the one released in 2021.

這還算是生產者責任計劃嗎？— 談膠樽和紙包盒生產者責任計劃

政府最近表示將會就膠樽和紙包盒生產者責任計劃立法，期望年內完成立法。生產者責任計劃的細節繁瑣，令人難以快速掌握。不如回歸本質，從字面拆解其意義：生產者、責任、計劃。這看似簡單，實則不然，讓我為大家逐一說明。

Environmental groups support the legislation of the Producer Responsibility Scheme, Urging the government to set a clear implementation date to rapidly reduce beverage container waste

The Producer Responsibility Scheme for beverage plastic bottles and paper beverage boxes will be discussed by the Legislative Council's Panel on Environmental Affairs on February 24. Documents uploaded by the committee today (February 18) indicate that the scheme does not set a specific implementation date. Several environmental groups agree that although the government should legislate on a common legal framework for the Producer Responsibility Scheme, the documents mention no specific date of implementation, and the recycling targets are too weak. We reiterate that the government must promptly implement an effective Producer Responsibility Scheme for plastic beverage containers and beverage cartons to minimize beverage container waste.
