3.1.1 實例示範
• Reading Mock Part A: Q4 (i)-(vi)

[2] The ostensibly environmentally friendly practice of “Bring Your Own Bag” (BYOB)
has been embraced by the eco-conscious community. When the first Mandatory
Producer Responsibility Scheme was introduced in Hong Kong in 2009, plastic bag
manufacturers frowned upon it and demanded the government to withdraw the levy
scheme. They argued that it is ineffective and pointless as non-woven bags, treated as
the alternative of plastic bags, will lead to an overall increase of plastic materials used.

[3] Is this valid? Although proponents of the levy scheme argued that these
manufacturers are defending for their own interest, it is deplorably true that a non-
woven bag must be reused for at least 131 times for it to be as “environmentally
friendly” as a plastic bag. It is not entirely un true that those so-called “greener” bags
will still generate significant amounts of carbon footprint.
24

[4] So what has happened since the scheme was implemented? While plastic bag
1-

disposal declined significantly, the use of non-woven bags had surged dramatically.
-0

Although the use of plastic bags had been reduced by 75% from mid-2009 to mid-2010
thanks to the launch of the scheme, it was revealed by the Hong Kong Plastic Bags
22

Manufacturers’ Association that the use of non-woven bags had surged by a staggering
20

96% during the same period. With the effects offsetting each other, the overall plastic
materials usage has not been effectively reduced at all – as opposed to what was
initially expected.

[5] After the initial launch of the scheme in 2009 which covered around 3,000
retailers only, the government expanded the scope of the levy to cover over 100,000
retail outlets in 2015. More extensive forms of plastic bags are covered under the
second phase, ranging from plastic bags with flat-tops and paper bags with plastic
lamination or plastic handle, to non-woven bags which are made of plastic.

• Reading Mock Part B2: Q33 (i)-(v)

[6] The toper is found exposed for sale in the markets at Rome as a food for man; and
in Paris, that city of gastronomy, the small kinds of shark, when divested of their
tantalizing titles, are to be detected as entries in the menu of many of the most
distinguished families. For some years, the dog-fish has afforded lucrative
employment during the whole of the summer to the fishermen from the Naze to the
Cape. It is, however, mostly smoked, and in this way is considered rather a delicacy. It
is also dried and split as stock-fish for consumption in the country, as well as for
export to Sweden, where it is greatly appreciated. It is likewise elsewhere a common
article of food, amid the choice of a variety of other fish, especially in the west of
England, and, indeed, is valued by some who are far above the necessity of classing it
with their ordinary articles of subsistence. It is used both fresh and salted, but, when
eaten fresh, it is skinned before being cooked. Lacipede, who speaks slightingly of its
flesh, informs us that, in the north of Europe, the eggs, which are about the size of a
small orange, and consist solely of a pale-colored yolk, are in high esteem. If prejudice
24

could be got over, there is no doubt they would form an agreeable as well as a
nourishing article of food, as a substitute for other eggs in our domestic economy.

[6] The Environmental Protection Department spared no effort in promoting the

scheme to the general public. Not only did they hold district briefings in civic centres
and community halls, but they also paid educational visits to retailers and wet markets
after the launch of the full implementation of the scheme in 2015. Advertisements were
ubiquitous at the time – you can find them on bus-body, television and radio
announcements. Despite extensive promotion carried out by the government, the
plastic bag levy scheme was hailed as a success by no other than the secretary for the
Environment Protection Department at the time.

[8] In fact, the loopholes that sidestep the scheme is outweighing the gains. This is
because exemptions are given to food items that are without packaging, in non-airtight
packaging or in chilled state. One prominent example is the flat-top bags, thin film bags
with no handles, typically found in supermarkets’ produce sections. In 2015 when the
scheme was first implemented to a full extent, Green Power observed 133 shoppers
during a one-hour period taking an average of 1.9 bags each. Worse still, most

turn down the offer. The abuse of these thin film bags, which is taking advantage of the

[9] What about the enforcement actions? Shouldn’t they be in place? According to the
government, there have started to take law enforcement actions against non-
complying retailers – something more than just verbal warning. Nevertheless, although
over 400 penalty notices were issued by the end of April 2017, only 15 prosecutions
with penalty were made against retailers who gave out plastic bags to consumers for
