Recycling and food waste sound like solved problems, until you see the gap between what we think happens and what actually does. Hosted by the HKU Jockey Club Enterprise Sustainability Global Research Institute, this 75-minute workshop brings leading organisations across two focused conversations to make the chain visible from the inside.
Rethinking Recycling: Reward and Recover, explores what it actually takes for a bottle in a recycling bin to come back as a new bottle — from the consumer-facing incentives that get it there to the industrial processing that makes bottle-to-bottle recycling possible.
Rethinking Food Waste: Prevent and Reshape, examines where food surplus forms across the food system — from retail operations to the shifting patterns of how Hong Kong orders, prepares, and consumes food.
Expect to walk away knowing things most people in Hong Kong don’t — straight from the operators making it happen.
