Additionally, in order to encourage fishers to bring plastic
bottles back to port, the environmental authority has given bottle
compactors to fishers. By using this tool, the volume of plastic
bottles can be reduced, resolving the space limitation problem
that concerns fishers [33]. However, it should be noted that while
more than half of the respondents will bring recyclables back to
port, a large percentage of them will not do the same thing with
plastic bags. This is because plastic bags are not a recyclable item
and provide limited economic incentive for reuse.
