Food waste is the largest part of the municipal solid waste in Hong Kong, which accounts for more than a third of all solid waste. In 2011, there was approximately 3,600 tonnes of food waste generated everyday, with two-thirds coming from households and one-third from the commercial and industrial sector. The capacities of the three strategic landfills in Hong Kong are going to be exhausted soon. Therefore, new policy strategies are needed to combat the food waste problem. A questionnaire was conducted with residents in the Tuen Mun district of Hong Kong, which focused on finding out their level of awareness of the food waste problem in Hong Kong; general behaviours of handling and generation of food waste; views and attitudes towards recycling food waste and perceived need for a household food waste recycling scheme in Hong Kong. The findings show that the majority of the respondents have a high level of awareness of the food waste problem in Hong Kong. However, the general behaviour of handling and generation of food waste does not seem to be in keeping with a reduction of food waste. There are a number of hindering factors that discourage food waste reduction and food waste recycling, such as the lack of food waste recycling facilities, hygiene and public health issues, and other social issues such as convenience. Nevertheless, the respondents agree that Hong Kong should introduce compulsory food waste recycling facilities for households in order to combat the food waste problem. With the vast amount of domestic food waste generated, the introduction of a household food waste recycling scheme has great potential to reduce food waste in Hong Kong. The obstacles of introducing household food waste recycling can be overcome by government provision of food waste recycling facilities, as well as maintaining a good hygiene standard. Full government provision of such facilities would increase the level of convenience, including financial convenience, and hence people would be more willing to participate in recycling and reducing their food waste.

Abstract: Recently, food waste issue has been raised by many environmental friendly organizations, there are approximately 3,584 tons food waste produced in Hong Kong every day. Food waste originates from commercial and industry (C&I) sector and domestic sector that about 11% and 28% respectively of the municipal solid waste (MSW) generated in Hong Kong. Food waste leads to many pollution problems, as food waste contains a lot of moisture, during the decomposing process, the food waste will release landfill gas and leachate, it will contaminate environment of nearby area of landfills. Furthermore, every day about 9,000 tons MSW will be disposed to landfills, based on the government information, the landfill of Tseng Kwan O will be saturated on 2015, while the other landfills in Tuen Man and Ta Kwu Ling will be saturated in 2017 and 2019 respectively, and MSW will become a big issue for Hong Kong. Currently, Hong Kong has only one Pilot Composting plant in Kowloon bay to recycle 500 tons food waste daily from C & I sectors. And for households sector, only a few housing estates have on-site composting machines to recycle the food waste, most of the domestic food wastes are disposed to landfills. To encourage the on-site food waste recycling within housing estates, the ECF has launched a funding program "Food waste Recycling Projects in Housing Estates" in 2011. ECF believed that providing subsidy as an incentive would attract more estates to implement on-site food waste composting and reduce the quantity of food waste in household side. The "Food waste Recycling Projects in Housing Estates" has launched for two years, so far not many housing estates implement the on-site food waste composting, this research will study the effectiveness of on-site food waste composting in reducing households' food waste and whether the incentive mechanism is the best tools to enhance the households' participation in food waste recycling.

According to waste disposal statistics from Environment Protection Department, 9,547 tonnes of municipal solid waste were generated every day in Hong Kong in 2013. Food waste was the major composition in the MSW, accounting for 38% of MSW in 2013, whereas over 70% of food waste was generated from the residential sector. Since 2005, the government has introduced various schemes and policies with the objectives of waste reduction and development of sustainable waste management system. In this connection, changes in individual household attitudes and bebaviour to support the sustainable food waste management are detrimental to achieving the goal of waste reduction in Hong Kong. Therefore, this study will focus on examining the household attitudes and behaviour toward the sustainable food waste management in residential estates. Recommendations will be made on enhancing public involvement of residential sector in sustainable food waste management according to the findings of questionnaire survey.

The volume of food waste generated surges with the substantial economic and population growth. In Hong Kong, there are currently 3,584 tonnes of food waste produced daily which are mainly disposed at landfills. The existing landfills, however, are expected to be full in the coming 5 years. The food waste problem is therefore urgent and significant. As a response, the Policy Address 2014 puts forward a package of waste management measures and calls for the implementation of "reduction first" approach. This study reviews the past efforts of food waste management and looks specifically at source reduction. Consumerism promotes the progressive purchasing of food products without the consideration of the adverse environmental impacts. The consumer behaviors driven by consumerist lifestyles boosted the food waste quantity. The meanings and relationships of food waste, source reduction, sustainable waste management, consumerism and consumer behaviors are therefore analyzed to illustrate the sustainable food waste management. The principles affecting consumer behavior, household behavior and C&I sector behavior on both supply and demand sides are especially studied to understand the situation. Making reference to overseas experience and a best practice framework, this research study focuses on the attitudes, difficulties and decision making of the Hong Kong residents, foodservice suppliers, the Government and NGOs on food waste issues. Literature review, questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews and site visits were conducted to understand consumer behavior. A collection of government policies and other stakeholders' initiatives was reviewed and analyzed. These include: A food waste & yard waste plan for Hong Kong, Food Wise Hong Kong Campaign, volume-based waste charging scheme, voluntary garbage sorting, OWTF infrastructure, Green lunch charter and Community Green Stations. The green groups have organized food waste reduction programs, food donation activities and light banquet campaigns to promote right-size food purchase and sustainable lifestyles in Hong Kong. Food waste-to-energy approach is more preferred than composting and animal feed production in Hong Kong. Other relevant measures learned from Taiwan can be the environmental awards, food waste recycling industry, financial funding and university researches. The study found that there are insufficient environmental policies and laws, inadequate financial incentives and low level of environmental CSR to promote food waste reduction. Limited collaboration among stakeholders, weak environmental education in the formal curriculum and consumerist lifestyles are also the reasons of the food waste problem. The study concludes that the food waste source reduction is achievable. The Government should improve the existing environmental policies and laws to promote sustainable lifestyles. A combination of measures should be implemented. Waste charging, Food Wise Hong Kong Campaign, food donation, social mobilization, OWTF infrastructure, environmental education and publicity, community green stations and right-size food purchase should work together to solve the problem.

Landfilling is the major method treating large amount of food waste by the government in Hong Kong, and only small amount of food waste would be upcycled by the government's pilot composting plant and the private food waste upcycling companies. This management system on food waste is not sustainable which would lead to different social and environmental problems. Several plans are conducted by the government on dealing with food waste; the most frequently heard project is the project of Organic Waste Treatment Facilities (OWTFs), which is aimed to build five to six OWTFs between 2014 and2024. Besides the government's efforts on food waste issue, food backs, researches and upcycling food waste by the private parties are observed. Therefore, develop a sustainable food waste management in Hong Kong especially on upcycling would be the best choice to reduce food waste as well as to solve the landfill exhausting problem. The final aims of this study is to confirm the most suitable sustainable food waste management framework for Hong Kong and to develop a set of recommendations on food waste upcycling for stakeholders involved. This is achieved by reviewing related literature and international best practice; developing an universal sustainable food waste management framework; understanding the current situation in Hong Kong and identifying key issues through literature review and first hand data / information collections. Online survey and interviews are conducted. 174 people completed the online survey and 29 interviews are conducted on upcycling businesses, catering sectors, actual customers of those upcycling products and NGOs. 6 factors are recognized and discussed under the 4 - steps food waste upcycling process framework, which causing the differences in management options and outcomes: 1. Late starting point; 2. Low variety of food wastes management methods; 3. Concerns; 4. Availability of food waste industry and market; 5.Lack of promotions and 6. Lack of education and resources. "Research and Development on Upcycling Food Waste Fund" is suggested for researching and developing new value -added upcycled products, subsidies and incentives are also suggested to maintain the competitiveness of upcycled products and develop an upcycling market in Hong Kong. Internet promotions and interactions are highly recommended on promotion, consultation and education aspects. The recent campaign -Food Wise Hong Kong is a good example for food waste management and it should be kept and further focused on food donation, and finally to promote food waste separation. The proposed food waste management plans and projects are also reviewed, collecting food waste from catering sector would be a better method at the beginning. Quantity-based charging scheme that charge by rubbish bags is suggested, facilities in the current waste station are needed to improve. An amended food waste management framework for current Hong Kong is constructed at last, hoping that can lead to sustainable development.

Although different pilot schemes and programmes had been operated by government and organizations, most of them were more like demonstrations on different methods in treating food waste. Up to this stage, no concrete facilities and long-term schemes have been carried out by the government to tackle the food waste generated. In this study, different approaches to treat food waste have been explored and relevant practices in Hong Kong have been investigated. In order to obtain the first hand information from the local situation, 250, 11 and four sets of questionnaires were distributed to the general public, catering sectors and green groups and other NGOs respectively. The relationship between the knowledge and attitude of food waste management and demographics characteristics of the participants were studied. Apart from questionnaires, four interviews with green groups and NGO were conducted. The results showed that all three sectors support implementation of food waste management, and were not satisfied with the current status of food waste management in Hong Kong. Both the general public and the catering sector found "converting food waste to renewable energy" the most suitable practice for food waste management in Hong Kong, while "food waste charging scheme" gain most of the support from the green groups and NGOs. Recommendations were made according to the results of the questionnaires, interviews and literature reviews on successful overseas case studies.
