Innovative Recycling Tour & Paper Making Workshop @Mil Mill 喵坊點「紙」「造」一件事

[This is an Experience under Community GO]

Visit carton recycling plants and experience paper remaking! 

In Hong Kong, more than 27,000 tons of beverage cartons ended up in landfill per year, the same weight as 1,825 double-decker buses! While cartons might not fit in the paper recycling category, what if we tell you beverage cartons can also be recycled? 

Yes, carton packaging is also up for recycling! Join us for a visit to a recycling plant run by Mil Mill, one of Hong Kong's most innovative of its kind, and a workshop to make Mil Mill's renowned recycled paper pulp!
