The majority of plastic waste recovered in Hong Kong are clean
scraps and rejects from manufacturing sources. With the increasing
market demand on plastic materials and scraps, much of the plastic
waste collected from domestic sources is now being recycled.
Post-consumer plastic such as plastic bottles and plastic bags are
being collected through the territory-wide programme on source
separation of waste and 3-coloured waste separation bins placed at
public places.
