The destiny of plastic bottles

Did you know only 6.3% of plastics is recovered from the municipal solid waste in Hong Kong? Indeed, only a small proportion of plastic products can be successfully recycled due to the product quality and cleanliness. 


Our volunteers helped to separate plastic products for recycling at Tzu Chi Centre and visited a local recycling factory, Lau Choi Kee. They learnt about the the process how used plastics can be converted into secondary raw materials for reuse. Let us save the world by using less plastic!
