To say that Hong Kong has a waste problem is an understatement. We dispose over 2.36 million tonnes of household waste in 2015 alone, our city recycles less each year, have no composting facility, while our landfills is predicted to be full in 2019, and mainland China will ban imports on unprocessed recyclables starting at the end of this year. Faced with such challenges it's easy to be disheartened, but in fact living without waste is possible. Dramatic waste reduction is something each one of us can do - and fast!
Join us for actionable and energizing discussion as we address the following questions:
Find out how to reduce 80% of your own household waste in just ONE day using the Rs of zero waste.
In-depth discussion on the best recycling and composting strategies in Hong Kong
Alternative solutions available around Hong Kong
Discussion: Other communities around the world - San Fransisco, Treviso, and Ljubljana amongst others - successfully reduced over 80% of waste in short amount of time. How can Hong Kong follow suit?
