In this picture taken on May 25, 2016, Matthias Fekl, French Minister of State for Foreign Trade, speaks to guests at T-Park, the new sludge treatment facility in Tuen Mun in Hong Kong. It is billed as a groundbreaking way to deal with Hong Kong's human waste, and even includes an onsite spa free to residents, but a new eco-friendly sludge treatment plant has not washed with some locals. The sustainable T-Park development blends into coastal hills near the town of Tuen Mun in the north of Hong Kong, a sleek low-rise building with a roof shaped like a wave. Each day, the HK$5 billion ($644 million) plant treats 1,200 tonnes of sludge from the city's wastewater treatment plants to avoid it being dumped in Hong Kong's overflowing landfills. / AFP PHOTO / ISAAC LAWRENCE
