A glass containers recycling programme for local hotels was launched in Hong Kong recently. Eleven hotels are participating in the programme, also organizing and funding the same programme. These hotels include the Eaton, Four Seasons, Grand Hyatt, InterContinental, Langham Place Mongkok and Mandarin Oriental among others. The programme, which is administered by the Hong Kong Hotels Association, has as its aim the recovery and recycling of beverage glass containers coming from participating hotels during their business. "This event is only an important start and we hope that glass recycling can be further extended to more hotels or other sectors in the near future," the Hong Kong Secretary for the Environment Edward Yau said when officiating at the launching ceremony on 24th November.
