Around 70,000 metric tons of e-waste is generated annually in Hong Kong.
The relatively high-quality products such as discarded refrigerators, smart phones and laptops are often sent to South Asia and Southeast Asia for refurbishment and reuse; low-quality scraps often end up exported to unofficial recycling centers in Asia and Africa.
In fact, about 80 percent of the electronic waste created in Hong Kong is exported today,but that percentage could drop significantly starting this year when the recycling plant operated by Alba Integrated Waste Solutions (Hong Kong) Ltd., now undergoing final inspections, opens for business.
