Hong Kong’s tall buildings, narrow streets and small retailers present a challenge for plastic beverage bottle collection and recycling. In this episode, we continue the story of Hong Kong’s Drink without Waste consortium - a group of over 40 organisations in Hong Kong involved in beverage production and distribution. After a great deal of research, this group has narrowed down on the best solutions to the city’s currently lacking plastic recycling system.

Guests:

• Paul Zimmerman, Drink Without Waste
• Nigel Mattravers, ALBA Integrated Waste Solutions
• Ho Ki Keung, Wong Tai Sin Community Recycling Centre
• Helga Vanthournout, Wealth of Flows Consulting
