For the purposes of resource integration between public sector and private sector, encouragement of purchasing green products and participating environmental protection activities, leading the public to live a sustainable lifestyle, expansion of the green consumer market, and promotion of the green economy, Green Point Collection Program (“the Program”) was officially launched by the Environmental Protection Administration (“EPA”) in December 2015. So far,the preliminary achievements have been obtained. As of January 22, 2020, 389,454 members registered with the Program and a number of well-known merchants joined the Program as the designated institutions. Through the implementation of the Program, the key factors which affect the effectiveness of the Program have been identified, including the participation of actors from different industries, collaboration between public sector and private sector, the enhancement in number of member and the designated institutions.
