The average daily municipal solid waste disposal per person in 2020 was 1.44 kilograms, of which only 28% could be recycled. The Government announced the “Waste Blueprint for Hong Kong 2035” in February 2021. The Blueprint sets a target of gradually reducing the per capita disposal rate by 40% to 45% through implementing municipal solid waste charging, and increasing recycling rates to approximately 55%.

With sufficient waste-to-energy facilities, it is hoped that Hong Kong will be able to break its dependency on landfills in the long run. The government has taken measures such as supporting the recycling industry, expanding the community recycling network, and implementing the Pilot Scheme on "Collection and Recycling Services of Plastic Recyclable Materials" to achieve "Waste Reduction, Eco-Transformation". Can a combination of these measures cultivate recycling habits among citizens?
