The vibrancy, however, comes with a huge amount of waste generated throughout the operations. Not only is it a waste of resources but also increases the operating cost. As part of the government\u2019s strategy to achieve \u201c#WasteReduction\uff0e#ResourcesCirculation\uff0e#ZeroLandfill\u201d, both the forthcoming #municipalsolidwastechargingscheme and single-use plastic ban call for the industry to actively work with different stakeholders to transition to a circular economy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This Knowledge Primer will inquire into how the local foodservice industry can attain resource #circularity through collaboration with the government, businesses, consumers and culinary training institutes. The four individual presentations will shed light on the following topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Invest Hong Kong will share the latest local trends of foodservice value chain\u2019s innovation for circularity;<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Institution.of.Dining.Art\">Institute of Dining Professionals<\/a>\u00a0will identify challenges involved in realising resource circularity, and discuss possible strategies for the industry to align the operations with resource circularity;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HKMaximsGroupGourmetCommunity\">Maxim\u2019s Group<\/a>\u00a0will present practical insights of engaging consumers on circularity with the Circularity in Action projects\u2019 experiences;<\/li>\n<li>The Principal of Hotel and Tourism Institute, Chinese Culinary Institute, and International Culinary Institute will bring in the perspective of instilling #circularthinking into the practitioners through refreshing curriculum and other learning experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A moderated discussion among the speakers will follow to exchange ideas on their different roles, and also potential synergy in the foodservice industry\u2019s #valuechain to bring about circular transition.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The event will also celebrate the launch of the project\u2019s A Practical Guidebook to a Circular Economy: Collaborating with Value Chain Partners for a Resilient Business.
