A Policy Framework for the Management of Municipal Solid Waste
21 Mar 2014As manifested in “A Policy Framework for the Management of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)”, HKSAR government revealed that an MSW charging system of a variable rate can operate in different modes, such as weight-based, frequency-based or volume-based. MSW charging is a very important initiative and has a far-reaching impact on waste reduction. Hence, on 7th April 2014, Environmental Protection Department (EPD) launched the “Provision of Services for MSW Charging Pilot Scheme for Waste, Recovery and Compliance Assessment” for evaluation purpose; and we are very much delighted to take one part of the scheme responsible for data collection, recording and analysis work. By actively participating in the scheme, we do hope to contribute more to local waste management and recycling industry.
