Encouraging Good Practice in Food Waste Management

In response to industrial and social needs, HKQAA has been subsidised by the Recycling Fund of the Government to develop the “HKQAA Hong Kong Registration – Food Waste Recycling”. The scheme promotes good practice in food waste recycling in order to help enhance industry operations and increase the amount of food waste which is recycled. It also enables our city to move towards a circular economy so that resources are used efficiently throughout their life cycle.
