DoRiFood shares food waste-derived 3D printing material in short film “Carbon Revolution in China”

21 Mar 2025


Prof. WONG Ka-hing, Director of Research Institute for Future Food (RiFood), was featured on the short film “Carbon Revolution in China”. He introduced the food waste-derived 3D printing material developed by his team. The material is made from the upcycling of spent coffee grounds, combined with polylactic acid. This process not only reduces carbon footprint but also demonstrates the vast potential for waste reuse.

The short documentary film produced by the Hong Kong Coalition features efforts in mainland China and Hong Kong aimed at carbon reduction and energy saving, telling good stories of the Nation’s advances towards its “dual carbon” goals.
