Food waste recycling shows growth

*********************************

     Since 2023, 453 smart recycling bins have been installed throughout 115 private housing estates under the Pilot Scheme on Food Waste Smart Recycling Bins in Private Housing Estates, resulting in significant growth in domestic food waste recycling. Participating estates have collectively recycled over 7 300 tonnes of food waste. To broaden the reach of the trial, the Government lowered the scheme's eligibility threshold last year to include more small and medium-size private housing estates.

     News.gov.hk discovered how residents from one participating estate are embracing the smart recycling bin initiative, while a representative of the Environmental Protection Department discussed the scheme's encouraging results.

     The story is available at www.news.gov.hk/eng/feature from today (April 5) in text and video format.
