In the course of river clean-up, plastic wastes have accounted for up to 80% thereof. Even if the river clean-up has been continuously held, it is still common to see citizens holding plastic bags on the street; there is still a lot of plastic wastes on the river banks and the street side. Therefore, we decided to trace back to the origin of the problem. To deal with the flood of plastic bag wastes, we shall start from "plastic waste reduction," to end the current throw-fetch condition.

During summer in 2019, local brand “Can Sanxia” under THE CAN initiated the project "913 Circular Sharing Bag," infusing the concept of the circular economy into the traditional model of used clothes recycling. It transformed the used clothes collected from families into shopping bags, which not only reduced the space used for placing used clothes in for families but also increased their added value, allowing resources to be fully utilized.

Local stores in Sanxia that participated in the project will become environmentally friendly stores. On the one hand, they cut down on costs for purchasing plastic bags; on the other hand, they improve their favorability from the community, bringing citizens from the community to implement the plastic waste reduction project and achieve the practices for the mutual benefits of the community.The severe river pollution made the local youth from Sanxia propose the solution through sharing economy.
