Members of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association Recycling Metal Branch visited EcoPark on 11th November 2016. Apart from visiting the Visitor Centre to understand the situation of waste management in Hong Kong, the members also met with representatives from the EPD at a sharing session to learn the government’s effort on waste management and support towards the recycling industry.

Hong Kong has generated substantial amount of waste due to affluence. The growing waste load means landfills are being filled up faster than expected. Yet, many items that end up in landfills are not waste at all. A large quantity of reusable but unwanted consumer goods is disposed of due to lack of alternative outlets.

The Hong Kong Second-hand Exchange is a free community service provided by the EPD, with the aim to promote the exchange of reusable products and thereby, help to reduce, reuse and recycle waste in Hong Kong.
