However, Korea, there concerns about illegal disposal (landfill, incineration) AWV. So, new management model needed which stakeholders voluntarily establish system. In this study, sustainable strategy was proposed. This reinforcing responsibility producers forms value chain proper discharge consumption by applying deposit system proposed recover Local governments National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (NH) education curb AWV, for managing areas where collection has not yet been established, biodegradable (BMV) minimize environmental pollution caused calculated that EPR contribution 0.16 USD/kg, introduction BMV 0.42 USD/kg Korea. study will provide alternative countries struggling with management.
