In September 2017, local NGOs together with Hong Kong’s leading beverage producers and bottlers, representing nearly half of bottled water and soft drinks sold in Hong Kong, joined major retailers and the waste industry to announce the formation of the Drink Without Waste (DWW) Working Group.

The Drink Without Waste team believes that by working together as producers, importers, distributors, retailers, waste management services, HKSAR government and consumers, we can be sustainable and reduce the waste from our beverage consumption.

“Hong Kong can create a circular economy for used packaging, if we all commit to the following strategies and actions of reducing, redesigning, recovering and recycling single-use packaging.”

DWW’s ultimate goal is to develop and facilitate strategies and actions to significantly reduce waste from beverage consumption arriving at our landfills and polluting our environment, in Hong Kong.
