ABSTRACT

This study was mainly intended to evaluate the effectiveness of the container deposit system reform in South Korea in accordance with the amendment of the Act on the Promotion of Saving and Recycling of Resources in 2015. For this, the study analyzed whether the reform increased the return rate of empty bottle, as intended, using the interrupted time series analysis method. The results supported that the reform contributed to promoting the return of empty containers. In particular, the return of Soju bottles and the household return of bottles increased statistically significantly. These results showed the improvement of the management and return of household containers. This, in turn, implies the effectiveness of the reform in improving the resource recycling efforts of consumers.
