Paul Zimmerman

Paul Zimmerman is an entrepreneur and environmentalist. He promotes interventions wherever he sees that policies, processes or institutions are not working the way they could. One of his foci is waste reduction. He leads “Drink Without Waste,” a charitable organization which actively supports government’s plans to introduce a producer responsibility scheme on beverage containers, including liquid cartons and PET bottles. The organization is supported and advised by the Single-Use Beverage Packaging Working Group, an alliance of stakeholders – from manufacturers to green groups.

My Sustainability Goals for 2025

• Successful introduction of a Producer Responsibility Scheme for beverage containers in Hong Kong
• Collaboration among residents, property managers and cleaners on managing recyclable packaging
• Minimal impact on consumers, and maximum outcomes
