| Summary: | Numerous promotions and campaigns have been
launched by the Malaysian government and non-government
organizations to raise the awareness of environmental-friendly
food packaging (EFFP). However, the implementation of EFFP
among food sellers or retailers is still low. Therefore, this study
aimed to focus on the current reality of the usage of EFFP
among Malaysian food hawkers in Kelantan. A total of 100
hawkers from night markets in the state were sampled and
interviewed. It was found that only 25% hawkers used EFFP.
Data were analyzed by using frequency and crosstab to analyze
their views on perceived benefits, perceived risks and resource
conditions. It can be concluded from the findings of the study
that more efforts should be made in order to raise the
awareness level of EFFP so that its use can be spread to food
hawkers and other food handlers and retailers. |
