為何要推行廚餘回收?  Why Recycle Food Waste?

香港平均每日扔掉約三千多噸廚餘，是堆填區中佔最大類別的都市固體廢物。廚餘容易腐爛發出異味，亦會滋生蚊蟲。因此，廚餘回收能減少對附近環境衛生的影響；同時，透過將廚餘轉廢為能亦可減少溫室氣體排放，有助減緩氣候變化問題。

In Hong Kong, we produce more than 3,000 tons of food waste per day on average, which is the largest portion of municipal solid waste in landfills. Food waste rotten easily, and eventually caused smell and mosquitoes breeding issues. Therefore, food waste recycling can help reduce its negative impacts to the environment; At the same time, by recovering energy from food waste, greenhouse gas emission can also be reduced which helps mitigate climate change.
