Mil Mill tour
Exploring recycling operations inside Mil Mill

Nineteen students visited Mil Mill, Hong Kong’s pioneering beverage carton recycling plant and education center. The tour offered a rare opportunity to step inside the recycling facilities to see the entire process firsthand—from collection to repurposing discarded paper products.

Students observed the machinery in action, learned how beverage cartons and other materials are transformed into new resources, and participated in a hands-on papermaking workshop. The visit broadened their understanding of Hong Kong’s recycling efforts, highlighted the role of social entrepreneurship in the green industry, and encouraged them to think about sustainable practices and eco-friendly business initiatives.
