About this event

Hong Kong disposes over 2,300 tonnes of plastic waste a day. With a recycling rate of about 10%, most of it goes into landfills. Compared to other forms of waste, plastic waste adds one-fifth to our daily garbage in Hong Kong. We must change.

6 years ago, award-winning film director, Craig Leeson documented the consequences of plastic waste in our oceans as well as pointed out solutions. A Plastic Ocean created big impact showcasing one of Hong Kong’s most pressing issues: plastic waste. Climate activists, entrepreneurs and changemakers stepped in with their innovative ideas and actions.

Looking at 2023 and beyond - are we on the right track? Or have we fallen behind?

Join us for the lively conversation with Craig Leeson and Devana Ng, co-founder of Invisible Company led by Belinda Esterhammer and explore:

  • How does plastic pollution shape Hong Kong’s environment?
  • Are we doing enough climate action as a society?
  • What are the recent innovations around alternative plastic and where are the gaps and bottlenecks?
  • At what speed change is happening and how you can contribute

Join us in person at WLAB or on Zoom from anywhere in the world.

Dare to take action? You are invited to join the Beach Cleanup following the conversation this spring. Stay tuned for more details.
