Guo Huang Yingqi, deputy director of the Environmental Protection Agency, said that the plan was launched in response to the declining international paper prices, hoping to continue the recycling network and operation mode through subsidies, and also understand that long-term dependence on exports is not a long-term plan, so it will also support waste paper recycling, It will be supported through other programs such as recycling funds.

As for the recycling of food waste, Member Chen Zhiquan criticized that the first phase of the Organic Resources Recycling Center only collected about 30,000 tons of food waste, which was half of what was promised to collect 73,000 metric tons per year. The Secretary for the Environment Huang Jinxing explained that the process of food waste treatment involves the process of inoculum, "it will not be treated on the first day." Guo Huang Yingqi, deputy director of the Environmental Protection Department, also pointed out that last year, an average of 100 tons was collected each day, and he admitted that it was affected by the epidemic at the beginning of this year, and the collection volume decreased slightly.

The substantive plan makes the water quality of Hong Kong meet the standard. The Drainage Services Department responded that in addition to the interceptors in the dry season, the sewage is treated by the sewage treatment plant before being discharged into the sea. The natural dilution in the rainy season will also clean up the sludge regularly.
