The project mainly focused on the followings:
• Installed and operated an automated food waste collection system (with dehydration unit)
• Collected, processed and analysed data
• Shared data and experiences with the recycling industry and relevant stakeholders

Notes:
(1) Target quantity processed refers to the quantity of recyclables expected to be collected for the whole project.
(2) The figures are rounded to the nearest hundred.
