When it comes to plastic recycling, Hong Kong is falling behind. In the face of government inaction, local organisations are stepping in to fill the gaps. In this episode, we look at the alliance Drink without Waste - a group of over 40 organisations in Hong Kong involved in plastic beverage waste. Without regulation tackling the issues of plastic waste, this consortium is coming up with interesting solutions to the plastic bottle crisis.Thanks to our guests:Paul Zimmerman, Drink Without WasteDana Winograd, Plastic Free SeasWilliam Davis, Swire Coca ColaFurther Reading:Drink Without Waste Website - https://drinkwithoutwaste.org/Plastic Free Seas Website - https://v1.plasticfreeseas.org/Production credits:Producer and Host: Marcy Trent Long Associate producer: YuFei WuSound Engineer: Chris WoodIntro/outro music: Alex Mauboussin Follow us on Twitter @SustainableAsia and Facebook. Sign up for our email updates at sustainableasia.co.
