Reducing plastic at the source: Taipei's traditional markets pilot reusable bag and recycling bin system

  • 2020-05-27

To reduce the use of plastic bags, the Taipei City Environmental Protection Bureau has piloted "recyclable bag collection bins" at the entrances of 12 traditional markets, encouraging the public to donate their reusable bags. After disinfection, these bags are then provided to shoppers. Various sizes of plastic bags hang on the stalls of traditional markets. A single trip to the market often results in the use of several plastic bags. Plastic bags are cheap and difficult to recycle, resulting in a low reuse rate. The Taipei City Environmental Protection Bureau has set up "recyclable bag collection bins" at the entrance of the Xihu Market in Taipei City, proactively providing reusable bags to encourage the public to reduce their use of plastic bags. The reusable bags at Xihu Market are almost all taken every day, and the cleaning team replenishes them. The public is encouraged to donate their unused bags, which can be placed on the lower level of the collection bin. These bags are then collected by the recycling team, tagged, disinfected with ultraviolet light, and returned to the market. Chen Li-e, from the Taipei City Environmental Protection Bureau's Resource Recycling Team, stated, "Because we don't know what was inside the recyclable bags the previous user had them, we clean them and then disinfect them with ultraviolet light. This ensures they are safe to use and also alleviates public concerns." The Taipei City Environmental Protection Bureau indicated that while the recycling bins aren't new to Taipei, increasing their usage rate requires dedicated personnel to clean and manage the recyclable bags. This measure, implemented in October, has shown positive results after a three-month trial, and they plan to expand its implementation. (Source: PTS News)
