HK moves towards disposing plastic tableware

HONG KONG: Hong Kong will be on track to get rid of plastic tableware after a two-month-long public consultation on the Scheme on Regulation of Disposable Plastic Tableware ends in early September.

Wong Kam-sing, the financial hub’s secretary for the environment, said the city has a clear goal in phasing out the use of plastic tableware, but has yet to set a clear timeline.
