Background

All of us as residents and businesspeople in Hong Kong can do more to keep our city greener. Simple statistics, such as the 5.2 million plastic bottles discarded every day by Hong Kongers (that is almost 2 billion bottles per year!), illustrate the seriousness of the situation.

The Seminar

The evening will start with opening remarks by a representative from the Hong Kong Government (TBC) followed by the Swedish Waste Management Experience from Helena Storm, Consul General of Sweden. This is followed by a panel discussion with Moon Kim (Cleantech Venture Partner at Spring Capital Asia), Dr. Steve Wong (Managing Director Fukutomi Company Ltd and Executive President of the China Scrap Plastics Association), Eric Swinton (Founder of V Cycle) and Dino Winograd (Director-Operations at Plastic Free Seas). The panel will be moderated by Alexander Mastrovito, Chair of the Sustainability Committee of the Swedish Chamber.
