Extend support for smart food waste bins across Hong Kong

The department should analyse patterns: is disposed food near expiry, and do portions go untouched? Precise data would enable targeted fixes, such as incentives for donations, apps for portions and reforms to food labelling. The government ought to lead by extending support for food waste bins and prioritising analysis to cut food loss at the root.

綠惜地球就《2024 年香港固體廢物監察報告》之回應

（2025 年 12 月 22 日 新聞稿）環境保護署於今日發表《2024 年香港固體廢物監察報告》，都市固體廢物總棄置量為 385 萬公噸，人均棄置量微跌 0.04 公斤至每日 1.40 公斤。回收率為 34 %，較前年微升 1 個百分點，主因是廚餘、金屬回收量顯著上升，惟紙料棄置量上升，且塑膠回收量和回收率告跌，以致升幅收窄。綠惜地球認為，垃圾收費引發社會關注減廢，加上政府淘汰即棄塑膠，減廢初見成效，惟垃圾收費終未有實施，當局須思考如何保持減廢的熱度，宜以有效的生產者責任制度，重拾公眾的減廢動力和信心。

啟德從速裝岸電 郵輪靠岸免污染

在香港這個國際都會，啟德郵輪碼頭作為亞洲重要的郵輪樞紐，本應引領綠色航運潮流，卻因缺乏岸電（Onshore Power Supply）基建，而令停靠的郵輪繼續燃燒燃料發電，維持船上運作。這不僅落後於時代，郵輪噴出的廢氣更直接加劇空氣污染，長此下去，我們擔心除了會影響市民健康，更會損害碼頭的旅遊形象。
