Hong Kong airport sets green standard

     Hong Kong International Airport's environmental management measures have helped it to become one of the world's greenest airports setting it on track to reach its goal of reducing, recycling and recovering 50 per cent of its waste by 2021.

     The Airport Authority's green efforts were recognised at the 2018 Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence where it won the Gold Award for the Public & Community Services Sector.

     News.gov.hk spoke to the Authority's assistant general manager and staff at restaurants participating in the airport's food waste recycling and waste charging schemes to find out what happens to the food waste and how eateries benefit from joining the schemes.

     The story appears on news.gov.hk today (December 29) in text and video format.
