Collecting mooncake and polyfoam packaging items

To promote a ‘waste less’ lifestyle on campus, the Campus Sustainability Office (CSO) set up collection points in campus canteens to collect surplus mooncakes from staff and students from 7 to 19 September 2019. Over 50 mooncakes were collected and donated to FOOD-CO, which is a local service provider running an IT platform for food support service.

The Office also ran an exercise to collect unwanted polyfoam packaging items. It is horrifying to know how polyfoam packaging materials can lead to serious environmental pollutions and adversely affect marine species. The Office received boxes of polyfoam packaging items, mainly the individual fruit wrapping materials, which are common in shops and stores around us. The collected materials were sent to and recycle through Missing Link – Polyfoam Recycling Scheme.
