Hong Kong to discontinue plastic recycling pilot, expanding Green@Community program

Credited from: SCMP

  • Hong Kong's Environmental Protection Department will terminate its pilot centralized plastic recycling scheme after five years.
  • The decision is part of an effort to consolidate recycling services under the Green@Community program, reducing costs by nearly 24%.
  • The pilot scheme, initiated in 2020, aimed to enhance residents' recycling confidence as the Green@Community network was developing.
  • The Green@Community network now operates in all 18 districts, streamlining collections to avoid duplicate efforts.
  • Officials assure that the transition will not affect residents' recycling activities, with a focus on effective waste management.
