Consumers' reactions are divided at the news that the ropes and tapes that have disappeared from the self-contained packaging of large marts can be redistributed.
Previously, the Ministry of Environment signed a voluntary agreement with four large marts, and removed the cords and tapes from the autonomous packaging stand since last year.
However, as President Yoon Seok-yeol made a promise in relation to 'restoration of supermarket packaging' during his presidential campaign, it is predicted that ropes and tapes will appear in autonomous packaging of large marts soon.
For the environment, President Yoon's side has proposed a plan to make and place eco-friendly materials rather than removing the rope and tape.
Consumers' opinions are divided.
Some pointed out that 'I'm already used to using the shopping cart' and 'Is there any need to re-arrange what was removed for the environment?' It will also be helpful to companies that do business.”
