Effective food waste solution
*****************************
To encourage residents to practise separating their food waste at home so that it can be properly collected and recycled, the Environmental Protection Department has introduced smart recycling bins that have resulted in multiple green benefits, such as reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, while creating an opportunity for citizens to redeem points for gifts.
News.gov.hk spoke with officers of the department to learn more about the smart recycling bins and how the strategy is helping the Government with its goal of raising awareness of the benefits of food waste recycling.
