Hong Kong on Waste Management

Plastic pollution is a global environmental problem. To combat this issue, the United Nations Environment Assembly passed a resolution in March 2022...

The International Maritime Organisation Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships was adopted in 2009.

In Hong Kong, about 14.6 billion pieces of plastic cutlery are discarded every year which can be taken as the equivalent of an annual disposal rate of 1,940 pieces per person.
