Applicants Environmental Association Limited
Project Targets

The applicant proposed a 24-month pilot project on on-site food waste treatment in rural villages. 10 locations would be chosen from different rural villages to test the effectiveness of different food waste processing machines.

The project would rent 10 food waste processing machines of which the suppliers would be selected by open tender. No more than 2 machines would be chosen from each supplier to ensure the machine diversity. Each of the machine would convert food waste into either compost or dehydrated food waste by using different technologies. Suppliers would further process the dehydrated food waste into compost. The readily used end product would be given out to the residents for free.  For the leftover product, machine suppliers/ the applicant would be responsible for the distribution through their own networks, e.g. distribute to collaborating partner farms.

The major tasks of the project include:

  • Liaise and sign agreement to secure 10 locations
  • Prepare assessment report for the 10 locations
  • Develop social media platform
  • Complete installation of machines in designated locations
  • Arrange publicity activities in the participating villages to encourage usage
  • Perform regular on-site checking
  • Conduct education seminars and surveys
  • Coordinate Heung Yee Kuk committee sharing
  • Prepare bi-monthly operation report and summary of project results

Approximate Approved Amount (HKD) $14,520,000
Target Quantity Processed(1)(2)(3)(tonnes) 1,200

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.
(3) Some Industry Support Programmes aim to enhance the overall capability and productivity of the recycling industry, including providing training courses to enhance the skills of recycling practitioners, enhancing safety and health standards and certification/ registration schemes, developing guidelines and setting up economic incentive schemes, etc., and therefore no target quantity processed was set.
