Hong Kong passed a long-delayed legislation to start charging residents for their household rubbish, beginning in 2023. Of the 5.67 million tonnes (6.2 million tons) of solid waste the city generated in 2019, only 29 per cent was recycled. The Post explains Hong Kong’s key waste management strategies, and how the city aims to clean up its garbage problem with a new waste-charging scheme.

when i came to almost 10 years ago. i was surprised by 2 things. people prefer to takeaway their food instead of eating in especially single person and air conditioning maintenance is not a thing. use it till it's broken and change a new one. from where I was born, people maintain their A/C and washing machine once every 2 years.

In HK MacDonald's , they put your drinks in a plastic carry bag.......why can't you simply hold the drink in your hands.

@cinemamovies1916 2 года назад

Exactly, or use bio-degradable cup holders.

@Aisha_zee Месяц назад

Because it's more simpler and too avoid water/pollution Plus it's not hard too take the bag out if you don't prefer it

@watanglipuhadjar2654 2 года назад

so advanced in waste management, whether for those that are destroyed or those that can be recycled. and most importantly, the government's awareness of waste management is highly prioritized. 👍

Landfills? Doesn’t HK have a shortage of liveable land? The prices are insane

@warren5037 2 года назад

I heard new bill got passed but even then construction won't actually begin after like 5-10 years cause feasibility and all that got to be done. But hey, some actual meaningful change is finally happening

“HK have a shortage of liveable land”？？？NO NO NO NO！！！！

@speedstriker 2 года назад

Yesn't. In terms of city planning? No. In terms of capital and commercial interest? Yes, definitely. There is no land in Hong Kong. No land has every been available in Hong Kong.

@jaker3151 2 года назад

HK has always been about speed and convenience. Need to educate and change how people think about waste. Can also limit the types of packaging/plastics that can be used so they can be more easily identified and recycled.
