Seminar on Waste Less - Green the Campus

In the past 30 years, Hong Kong’s municipal solid waste (MSW) was increased by 70%. Hong Kong’s per capita MSW generation rate is also much higher than in other major cities in the world. In PolyU, currently, we are generating over 900 kilograms of waste per day and thus, bringing a waste-less culture on campus and moving towards effective use of resources at campus events and activities can help to reduce waste generation on campus.

In this training, the Speaker will introduce to us the proposed MSW charging scheme and a Waste Reduction Guidebook for large scale event organizers published by the Environmental Protection Department. Waste reduction best practices and successful experience in organizing green events will also be shared in the training.
