Why at kopitiam I buy bottle from the stall, drink then I can’t return the bottle to the stall to collect back my 10c? Must bring the empty bottle with me until I see a return machine?

 

[BBClone]

Because the main idea was for the extra 10 cents to disappear into corporate profits.

Rummaging through public bins & removing items from them is against the law: Grace Fu on BCRS

NEA will take action against those who commit such offences.

Me ask AI

• BCRS Ltd. is a not-for-profit company and the licensed operator of Singapore’s Beverage Container Return Scheme. Default
• It was formed by a consortium of beverage producers:
  • Coca-Cola Singapore Beverages
  • F&N Foods
  • Pokka National Environment Agency+1
• Its board also includes representatives from Wanin Industries and Chia Khim Lee Food Industries to represent smaller producers. National Environment Agency
• NEA does not own BCRS Ltd. NEA licenses and regulates the scheme; BCRS Ltd. operates it. National Environment Agency

So, in simple terms: BCRS Ltd. is industry-owned/industry-led, with Coca-Cola, F&N and Pokka as the founding consortium. bcrs.sg


me as ai BCRS Ltd. is industry-owned/industry-led mean what it say

In simple terms:

“Industry-owned/industry-led” means BCRS Ltd. is set up and run by companies from the beverage industry, rather than being a government-owned company.

For BCRS:

• BCRS Ltd. operates Singapore’s Beverage Container Return Scheme.
• The beverage companies themselves helped establish it through a founding consortium.
• The founding companies are Coca-Cola Singapore Beverages, F&N Foods, and Pokka.
• These companies therefore have a role in governance and decision-making for BCRS.
• The Singapore Government/NEA is the regulator, not the owner. NEA sets the regulatory requirements and oversees the scheme.
• BCRS Ltd. is intended to operate the scheme as a not-for-profit industry scheme operator, rather than as a company whose purpose is to distribute profits to shareholders.

The return machines all smell like trash collection centres. I siam when walking past.

Some of these machines are even located within supermarkets, and you can see all the leaking fluids being stepped on all over the floor. Not to mention insects… very hygienic indeed, in a place which sells foodstuffs.

If only we can boycott can and bottled drinks.

That's only ammonia. Those who noe will noe there are certain smells that are nigh impossible to scrub away.

Soon u see crockroaches and rats crawling around these BCRS machine. Chao sng beer inside these cans can be very smelly one..

Just like the mandatory tray return cause another problem in providing ample food for birds like mynahs and crows... One main reason why their population exploded and getting out of control...
