Get inspired to live the zero waste lifestyle this year
The word 'single-use' was crowned word of the year by Collins Dictionary in 2018, and it's no surprise why. Plastic, specifically single-use plastic, is everywhere—especially in Hong Kong where everything is wrapped once or twice-over in the see-through stuff.
But it's not just plastic that's polluting the world. If you're keen on trying out the zero waste lifestyle, which is all about reducing, reusing and recycling products so that they don't end up in landfill, we've found Hong Kong's foremost zero waste warriors to follow on Instagram.
