Support from different sectors in source separation and delivery of adequate food waste to O · PARK1 is crucial to the effective operation of the plant.
The current response from various sectors is positive, we have already secured the support and commitment from food waste generating establishments in different sectors, including:
Effective food waste separation at source is the pre-requisite for providing good quality food waste to O · PARK1. Inert materials and certain types of food waste (e.g. oversized bones, clam shells and oyster shells) are not suitable for the biological decomposition process. They would disrupt the delicate anaerobic digestion process and may cause suspension of the plant operation.
Upon request, EPD can help arrange training sessions with participating stakeholders, as well as technical support to line management and frontline staffs.
A Code of Practice provides guidance to food waste producers and collectors to assist them to comply with the requirements of food waste separation, storage, collection and delivery to O · PARK1.
Those who are interested in deliver food waste to O · PARK1 are required to submit the duly completed EOI proforma to the HKSAR Government.
A Carbon Calculator Website has been launched to facilitate the participants of O · PARK1's Carbon Reduction Certification Scheme to access their food waste delivery and the respective carbon reduction records.
Food waste collectors who are interested in providing food waste delivery service to O · PARK1 are required to complete and return the administrative registration form together with the required documents (valid business registration certificate, valid vehicle licence(s) and recent photos of the vehicle(s). Registered food waste collectors have to comply with the Operational Guidelines to ensure the food waste delivered to O · PARK1 meets the requirements.
