Environmental charity organisation EcoDrive Hong Kong has launched its annual Enough Plastic Campaign to raise awareness on single-use plastic consumption in Hong Kong.
The campaign, themed “Choose Wisely” this year, went live on May 30, No Single-Use Plastic Awareness Day and will run through June 30. During this month, the organisation will be promoting the campaign through celebrity-backed campaign visuals across Hong Kong to encourage citizens to make a lifestyle change by giving up daily plastic use.
According to the Environmental Protection Department, Hong Kong generated 2,320 tonnes of daily plastic waste in 2019. The number of plastic recyclables rose from 55,800 tonnes in 2018 to 74,400 tonnes in 2019, showing that more plastic waste awareness and education needs to be done in Hong Kong in order to lower the city’s plastic waste use.
