Don Wee on Resource Sustainability (Amendment) Bill
Will the impending disposable carrier bag charge apply to deliveries of online orders by supermarkets? What has been the average return rate in other countries which have introduced a beverage container return scheme? How much space does a single return point take up and what is the estimated cost of operation? Are there Government grants that beverage producers can tap to minimise costs which may otherwise be passed on to consumers? These were some questions raised by MP Don Wee in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 22). On food waste management, he asked about food manufacturers which also run food catering businesses. He proposed that the caterers be required to report leftover food brought back to their factories as food waste, and to consider penalising caterers who dump food waste at their clients’ premises.
