Currently, about 11 100 tonnes of municipal solid waste are generated in Hong Kong per day, of which around 30 per cent is food waste. Apart from promoting food waste reduction at source, the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) is actively implementing various measures to support food waste recycling from commercial, industrial and domestic sectors to gradually increase the amount of food waste recycled in Hong Kong and further reduce food waste disposal, with a view to achieving the goal of “Waste Reduction‧Resources Circulation‧Zero Landfill”.
The Association is supportive of the event and be a Food Wise Partner to supporting Food Wise Hong Kong Campaign.
