Despite this, both Gil and Ko have high hopes, thanks to toughening regulations in addition to improving consumer awareness.
They hope that cafes and restaurants may become less environmentally damaging when the use of paper cups and straws is banned and customers have to pay for takeout cups, starting from 2021.
“Since we cannot always rely on everyone taking responsibility, we need a well-organized system and regulations,” Ko said. “I think South Korea’s legal infrastructure is well designed and developing fast but lacks detail.”
Ko said she expects more fundamental and positive changes to come as the country pushes forward with the green economy under its “Green New Deal” initiatives. Annoucned by the Moon Jae-in administration in June, the Green New Deal aims to invest 12.9 trillion won (US$10.8 billion) to boost the green energy sector and create 133,000 jobs in the process over the next two years.
“Combined with fast-changing consumer trends among the younger generation, I hope the Green New Deal could bring about fundamental change in our economic system, and prove that a green lifestyle doesn’t need to hurt the economy,” Ko said.
