Day 1 : 16:50 – 17:40
This panel will address the urgency of sustainable waste management in Hong Kong as we press to a Zero Landfill vision that was outlined in Waste Blueprint for Hong Kong 2035. After reducing wastage along the whole value, what more can we do to strengthen recycling practices in Hong Kong for residual disposal. The call for greater innovation and collaboration between stakeholders becomes more necessary as does the need for education and awareness of sustainable waste management practices.
