• Reduction of Food Waste
• 142. Food waste imposes a heavy burden on our landfills as it accounts for about 40% of total waste disposed of in landfills. In addition, odour from food waste creates nuisance to nearby residents. The Government has recently launched the "Food Wise Hong Kong Campaign" to mobilise the public as well as the industrial and commercial sectors to reduce food waste. We will build modern facilities in phases for recovery of organic waste so that it can be converted into energy, compost and other products.

Key Challenges 1 – Food Waste Collection and Delivery : What is the best arrangement for HK ?
• Model 1: Taipei/Seoul model
Residents take food waste using their own or given containers to the streets at designated locations and time
![Page 45: Food Waste Management in Hong Kong : Challenges and Opportunities](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fc9cf39d50e757a521a813/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Key Challenges 1 – Food Waste Collection and
Delivery : What is the best arrangement for HK ?
• Model 2: residents take food waste to
the collection point in their own estates
• Model 3: residents put the food waste in special containers outside their flats for collection by property management.
![Page 46: Food Waste Management in Hong Kong : Challenges and Opportunities](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fc9cf39d50e757a521a813/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Key Challenge 2 : incentives and mechanisms to induce food waste reduction, separation, collection and recycling ?
• Model 1: Taipei model - collection of
food waste free of charge
• Model 2: UK model - special tax on landfill
disposal and high gate fees for MSW at waste to energy plant
![Page 47: Food Waste Management in Hong Kong : Challenges and Opportunities](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fc9cf39d50e757a521a813/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Key Challenge 2 : incentives and mechanisms to induce food waste reduction, separation, collection and recycling ?
• Model 3: Seoul model - a levy via special bag for food waste collection
• Model 4: large difference in gate fees for different types of facilities, or even free of charge of treating food waste
• Model 5: banning food waste from landfills (ie in some European countries)
![Page 48: Food Waste Management in Hong Kong : Challenges and Opportunities](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fc9cf39d50e757a521a813/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
