CNA938 Rewind - The Big Question: Would you consume fewer canned, bottled drinks to save on higher costs?
From bubble tea cups to single-use cans, drink packaging is one of the most visible contributors to everyday waste — something Singapore is tackling by introducing the Beverage Container Return Scheme from 1st April. On The Big Question, Andrea Heng and Susan Ng put the question directly to consumers: would you actually consume fewer canned and bottled drinks — and what would it take to change your habits? And how would restaurants cope with new operational requirements? They spoke with Eugene Chow, CNA; Lukas Teo, Founder, The Gourmet Factor; Prof Lawrence Loh, Director, Centre for Governance and Sustainability, NUS Business School
