RECYCLING IN HONG KONG

The need to reduce, reuse and recycle waste is important to Hong Kong, with his large population. I´m going to tell you why recycle is so important, what do the goverment do and how you can recycle there.

WHY?

Because Hong Kong has to deal with an unsustanaible amount of waste in such a small geographical area, everyone needs to aware of what we can do to improve de situation. Our lanfills will be full, one by one, in the mid to late 2010. So we all needs to take responsability and act now.

WHAT? AND HOW?

The goverment take the lead. It is good to involve the whole comunity in reducing waste.

The tools and mesures include:

1.-Discard less, pay less - introducing waste charging to change people´s consumption.

2.-Source separation-improving the recycling from 40% in 2004 to 50% in 2014.

3.-Supporting the recycling industry-the building of the ecopark and the introduction of a project of ecoresponsability.
