Hong Kong 2014-2022” and sets out four main strategies as the backbone to tackle
the food waste challenge, namely reduction at source, reuse and donation,
recyclable collection, and turning food waste into energy. One of the
main strategy is to develop a network of Organic Resources Recovery Centres,

useful resources. This seminar will give an overview on the food waste
