At present, there were some 11,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) disposed of at landfills each day. Of these, about 30% were food waste, constituting the largest MSW category. The current practice of disposing of biodegradable food waste at landfills is not sustainable and is environmentally undesirable as it depletes the limited landfill space. To tackle the challenge of food waste in Hong Kong, the Government issued "A Food Waste and Yard Waste Plan for Hong Kong 2014-2022" and "Waste Blueprint for Hong Kong 2035" to map out the strategies for food waste management, including food wise, food donation, food waste collection, and turning waste into energy. One important strategy outlined in the plan is the establishment of "Organic Resources Recovery Centre," which utilizes advanced technology to recycle food waste into renewable energy.
