Abstract

This study aims to examine the willingness to pay for packaging fee. A
random survey of 255 persons in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area were conducted.
Using the contigent valuation method, the results showed that the willingness to pay
depended on types of packaging materials. The highest fee people were willing to pay
was glass packaging, followed by alumineum and plastic packaging. A measure to
alleviate garbage accumulation by using differential tax system is proposed.
