is a 100 liter pay-as-you-go garbage bag that is often used in restaurants and shops. It is pointed out that it is so large and heavy that it causes environmental beacons to suffer, and there is also a study that found that 15% of US workers who were injured were injured while being littered. The Ministry of Environment recommended last year not to use 100-litre bags for businesses with heavy waste, but nearly half the municipalities still use 100-liter bags.

Reporter Jung Joon-ho pointed out.

alley with lots of restaurants and bars. Nearly half of the garbage bags are 100 liters.

Lack of power on their own, two dragged on the ground.

It is a 100 liter garbage bag. Let me listen.

In this way, it is also difficult for one adult male to move one, but environmental beauties need to move hundreds a day.

The Ministry of Environment recommends not to put more than 25kg in a 100 liter bag, but there are many bags over 30kg.


[Kim Yong-seop/Environmental Beauty Institute: It hurts a lot. Waist, especially waist. My back hurts the most... People who take painkillers on a daily basis are also common.] Some

even add trash with tape.

As the Ministry of Environment advised companies that discharge more than 300kg of waste a day in April last year, 100 liter bags are being thrown out, and local governments are getting rid of them.

Either reduce the capacity to 75 liters or replace it with a 50 liter envelope.

However, half of the nation's municipalities still have no plans to dispose of 100 liter envelopes.

It is that we cannot ignore the needs of some self-employed people that it is convenient to pack a lot at once.

[Self-employed: I can't put a lot in a small envelope. Such a big business. People like us can do this (100 liters of garbage bags).]

100 liters of bags are directly related to the health of the US Environmental Protection Agency, so even if it's a little uncomfortable, the consensus that the local government has to decide to withdraw is growing.

Some local governments have provided blankets for quilts, but there should also be an alternative to discard large-sized garbage.
