Environmental issues are no stranger to everyone, but they are often difficult to implement in real life. In Hong Kong, a city of efficiency and convenience, disposable items can be found everywhere. Generally speaking, a takeout order contains at least one disposable tableware, a styrofoam lunch box and a plastic bag. According to the EPD, Hong Kong sent an average of 131 tonnes of plastic tableware and 48 tonnes of styrofoam tableware to landfills in 2015, a staggering figure.

Do not want Hong Kong to become a garbage siege? The first step must be done by yourself. As a matter of fact, many people in Hong Kong have advocated providing their own tableware, and many restaurants have also strongly supported it. In order to comply with the principle of environmental protection and convenience for urban people, some lightly designed reusable tableware came into being, such as foldable lunch boxes, cups and water bottles, making it simple and convenient to bring your own tableware and easily reduce waste at the source.

Since environmental protection depends on environmental protection in the end, some tableware on the market are made of renewable materials, such as bamboo tableware. Unlike the old days, the cutlery made of bamboo was not durable enough and was easily moldy and black, which was prohibitive. Today, some bamboo tableware, including bamboo chopsticks, spoons, forks and knives, have high water resistance, are not easy to mildew and have natural antibacterial properties. Bamboo is a renewable resource with a fast growth rate, can be harvested and used in an average of more than one to two years, and can become a substitute for wood. Bamboo products, as natural materials, can naturally decompose and return to nature when discarded, and will not cause harm to the environment, so we can rest assured when using them.

In addition, some products will use PET recycling technology to recycle the plastic and then reproduce it. For example, plastic bottles are recycled and recycled into tableware sets or various products. Silicone products are also relatively environmentally friendly, because silicone is non-toxic, resistant to high / low temperature, and it will decompose naturally in a suitable environment. Therefore, when we choose and buy goods in our daily life, we can also pay more attention to the raw materials and production methods of the products, and use a little strength to contribute to the environment.
