Cities are critical to the circular economy, as rising levels of urbanisation and economic growth has led to greater carbon emissions and resource use in these areas. In Hong Kong, the waste disposal rate has continued to grow in the past 5 years, while resource recovery rate has remained consistently low. Recent events like the global pandemic have further burdened the city’s waste management system with an unprecedented disposal of single use items. Globally, circular economy is becoming more recognised as a solution to facilitate better resource utilisation and waste reduction. It is also championed to be able to address cross-cutting issues, including climate change, energy and transport. As such, it is time for Hong Kong to better integrate and embed circular economy principles into the city, in order to stimulate long-term sustainable growth and regenerate the environment.
Watch the webinar if you would like to learn more about circular economy, hear about BEC’s strategic findings on Hong Kong’s progress towards circularity, and learn from experts about how the city can become more circular.
