荃新天地設紙包飲品盒回收機 每收一個回贈1毫

/ 文章轉載 /

根據環保署數據,2019年全港紙包飲品盒每年棄置量高達27,000噸,數量足以鋪滿逾4,100個大球場。有見於此,市建局及信置旗下的「荃新天地」,與全港首間紙包飲品盒回收漿廠Mil Mill喵坊本,推出紙包飲品盒回收計劃,於商場增設智能回收機,並附加八達通現金回贈,每回收一個獲回贈1毫,每張八達通卡每日最多可獲2元回贈。

荃新天地聯同Mil Mill喵坊於今年6月18至30日期間進行網上問卷調查,在369名受訪者中,有66.9%會將紙包飲品盒當作垃圾棄置,僅有約10%能正確把紙包飲包盒棄於專屬回收機或回收箱。近80%表示從來沒有回收過紙包飲品盒,主要原因為不知道可以回收、過少回收點及回收步驟過於繁複。

荃新天地於7月17日至8月29日期間,於荃新天地商場2期設置紙包飲品盒智能回收機,市民只須剪開紙包飲品盒1角沖洗乾淨,投入紙包飲品盒回收機即可回收。市民每回收1個紙包飲品盒,更可獲回贈1毫至八達通卡,每張八達通卡每日最多可獲取2元回贈。此外,商場亦舉辦紙包飲品盒回收、循環再做的環保教育展覽,展板隨後會在區內中小學作巡迴展覽。

廢物回收的常見謬誤

有點意外地,當提及廢物回收時,我們仍然存在很多謬誤。這篇文章提到當中幾個常見謬誤,包括人們以為可降解的物質可在堆填區自動分解;所有類別的塑膠也可回收,或者在回收桶也常常發現不可回收與可回收的塑膠混在一起。

Five Hong Kong Recycling Myths That Will Shock You

IKEA 引入資源回收機 膠樽.鋁罐.紙包飲品回收有錢袋

/ 文章轉載 /

環保問題在香港愈來愈被重視,近日 IKEA(宜家)在全港多間分店引入資源回收機,除了入樽機外,還有鋁罐和紙包飲品盒都可以有賞回收。只要將回收物清洗乾淨帶到分店進行回收,每件回收物 IKEA 都會有 1 亳子回贈至八達通卡,每張八達通每日可得到最高 HK$2 回贈。

  • IKEA 最近引入 8 部資源回收機
  • 每件回收物 IKEA 都會有 1 亳子回贈至八達通卡
  • 每張八達通每日可得到最高 HK$2回贈

IKEA 在 facebook 平台發文表示 IKEA 最近引入 8 部資源回收機,除了市面上越見普及的入樽機外,鋁罐和紙包飲品盒都可以有賞回收。四間分店,分別是九龍灣店﹑銅鑼灣店﹑沙田店及荃灣店。

官方表示,每件回收物 IKEA 都會有 1 亳子回贈至八達通卡,每張八達通每日可得到最高 HK$2 回贈,即一個市民每一日可以回收約二十件的物品。雖然有市民表示每日只有 HK$2 回贈太少,但作為一個私營機構,願意提起社會企業責任已算是不錯。希望 IKEA 未來日子可以提供更多資源回收點,讓市民可以為環保出一份力。
