The Highlights

VTC engages students, colleagues, staff and the community in fostering a circular economy. Having reverse vending machine #RVM as a tool introduced for people’s daily recycling practice has generally transforming the way we treat recyclable wastes as resources.

Cornerstone has been placing 7 RVM in premises under VTC, which is set to accept PET#1 bottles with capacity ranged from 250ml to 1.5L.

Each user can return up to 30 plastic bottles each day, and for each return, user will receive HKD 0.1 per bottle directly on their Octopus card. ♻️
