Realistically, difficult. Difficult to go for broke in this case.
The so-called discussions by the various players is, in reality,
seeking to get total agreement to screw consumers.

SINGAPORE - All 167 Cheers and FairPrice Xpress outlets will start charging for plastic bags from next year to further curb plastic bag use.
It will cost 10 cents per transaction at Cheers and FairPrice Xpress outlets.
This is an expansion of the grocery retailer's No Plastic Bag initiative introduced in 2019 mandating payment for plastic bags at FairPrice, Cheers and FairPrice Xpress stores. Only 24 outlets are involved currently.
This initiative is part of FairPrice's larger sustainability strategy, the Plastic Bag Management Programme, which aims to reduce excessive use of plastic bags and encourage behavioural change in customers.
Since the introduction of the programme, 30 million plastic bags have been saved, and seven out of 10 customers are willing to have their own bags with them.
The revenue earned from the expansion of the No Plastic Bag initiative will go towards supporting green programmes.
One of these is the National Parks Board's (NParks) OneMillionTrees movement.
On Friday, NTUC FairPrice Foundation, the charity arm of NTUC FairPrice, also announced a $180,000 contribution to the NParks Garden City Fund and OneMillionTrees at a tree-planting event held in Bedok Reservoir Park.
The money will fund the planting of 600 trees as well as outreach programmes to promote awareness of and encourage conservation.
The tree-planting event was attended by Mr Tan Kiat How, Minister of State for National Development, and Communications and Information; Mr Tang Tuck Weng, assistant chief executive of NParks' parks management and lifestyle cluster; and Mr Seah Kian Peng, FairPrice Group CEO.
Fifty native trees were planted at the event, and the rest of the trees are slated to be planted in collaboration with Fei Yue Community Services by the end of 2022.
Mr Seah said: "We took the lead in being the first supermarket in Singapore to charge for plastic bags to reduce excessive use while encouraging behavioural change in consumers and inspiring other retailers in the industry to do their part."
"We (hope to) encourage more customers to join us in this sustainability movement," he added.

Zheng-hu bo lwee liao !
I wonder if she is going to throw letter at the next Erection. She is becoming a liability. N she used to be a very popular MP. I think higher margins than pinky.
Maybe covid will get her first, she will get menses again before blood erupting from all her 7 holes and eventually she will be reduced to a pool of blood.
If it doesn't happen, someone can go slit her throat and slice off her labia and nipples, send them back to JB.
This fucking lao cheebye.

Forum: Charging for plastic bags not enough on its own
Nov 18, 2021I refer to the letter "Charging model for plastic bags at supermarkets urgently needed" (Nov 16).
Unfortunately, introducing a fee for plastic bags wouldn't help the environment much.
Simply charging for a plastic bag without directing these funds into environmental or education programmes would not necessarily solve the problem.
Some elderly shoppers might forget to bring reusable bags with them, and to charge them might not be fair.
Moving to reusable options wouldn't stop people from discarding reusable bags, which have to be reused many times to be more environmentally friendly than single-use bags.
Also, if supermarkets were to charge for plastic bags, how consistently would that policy be applied? Would supermarkets make customers pay for the plastic bags that they tear off a roll to hold their loose fruits or vegetables? And what about the plastic on shrink-wrapped fruit?
Supermarkets need to work with supply chains to reduce the use of plastic packaging.
Without a change in consumer and supply chain attitudes, charging for plastic bags is one step forward and two steps back.
Supermarkets and retailers must work not only with suppliers, manufacturers and customers to solve the waste problem, but also with one another.

Forum: Cutting down on plastic bottles is more achievable
Nov 18, 2021Ms Ng Wee Chew (Charging model for plastic bags at supermarkets urgently needed, Nov 16) said Singapore should make it mandatory for all retailers to charge for plastic bags.
While I do agree with the current global initiative to go green, there are important considerations on the impact downstream.
Ms Ng suggested that all major supermarkets should start charging for plastic bags from next year beginning with a uniform charge of 5 cents per bag. While 5 cents per bag might not be exorbitant for the above-average income earner, it could be a hefty sum for the less well-off. Should a national policy penalise the poor?
To help the less well-off, there may be suggestions that the authorities provide reusable bags.
But this leads to another question. Without plastic bags, how are households going to dispose of their garbage?
If rubbish and leftover food are thrown into bins or down the rubbish chutes without being placed in bags, this would create an environmental and hygiene problem.
We want your opinion
What topics and commentaries would you like to read more of?

More thought needs to be given to this matter and I don't believe that we would solve the problem by merely charging for plastic bags. Cutting down on single-use plastic bottles is something more achievable in the immediate future.
