| Description: | The current practice of disposing of food waste at landfills is not sustainable in Hong Kong. Reducing food waste deposal at landfills is a challenge of HKSAR. To gain experience and comprehensive information on collection of source separating food waste or treating the source-separated food waste is necessary. A Pilot Composting Plant was set up by the Environmental Protection Department at the Kowloon Bay Waste Recycling Centre in mid-2008. The pilot plant comprises an enclosed pre-treatment area, in-vessel composting units, curing pads, product screens and biofilters. The pilot plant can process 500 tons of food waste per year and can produce about 50 tons of compost. Compost can be used as a soil amendment, herb gardening and landscapes. Participants will have a chance to get a full picture of food waste management and learn food waste treatment process. Details: Time of Assembly: 9:45 am Place of Assembly: Main entrance of Kowloon Bay Waste Recycling Centre Fee: HK$50/person Language: Cantonese HK$50 will be charged at the assembly point.
