Extend support for smart food waste bins across Hong Kong
Two years ago, amid plans for a citywide waste-charging scheme, the Hong Kong government rolled out smart food waste recycling bins on private housing estates with two years of free maintenance and collection services.
This practical step reduced the city’s food waste, which still accounts for around 30 per cent of municipal solid waste.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.
