"Hong Kong 01" used GPS trackers to place plastic bottles and measured the recycling of plastic bottles in 14 housing estates. Finally, it was found that the plastic bottles of 9 housing estates were sent directly to landfills and waste transfer stations, among which 5 housing estates are all located. It has won the recycling award of the "Household Waste Source Separation Award Scheme" of the Environmental Protection Agency. Metro City Phase 2 has also won the highest-rated diamond award for two consecutive years.
To ensure that the tracker was not discarded during recycling, the reporter went to the frontline cleaners of the housing estates to make unannounced visits.
At least two cleaners directly admitted that the housing estate had no recycled plastic bottles and treated them as waste.
In the past year, a reporter from "Hong Kong 01" placed GPS trackers in plastic bottle recycling bins in 14 housing estates, and found that at least nine plastic bottle trackers were sent to landfills or waste transfer stations.

In order to make the film more appealing to readers, the first 12 seconds of the film were shot from the first point of view before the plastic bottle was recycled, from the convenience store to the refrigerator at home, and then discarded to the recycling bin, condensing the entire process, hoping to arouse readers And the government pays attention to it and reflects on it. As long as the housing estates are not properly handled and the government does not monitor them, the public's efforts to recycle will be in vain.

Hong Kong company pushes new crown virus home detection agent and claims that it has been denied FDA certification. The company explains: is applying.
Reporter: Zheng Cuibi
During the raging period of COVID-19, many companies tried to develop COVID-19 antibody detection products. Some Hong Kong companies claimed to have developed home-use testing products, and they had also been certified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), becoming the first overseas company to be approved.
However, "Hong Kong 01" asked the FDA what the certification standards were and what data the company provided to obtain certification. The company avoided responding.
After the reporter inquired with the FDA, it was discovered that the company’s antibody detection product had not actually been approved by the FDA for emergency use authorization. The company argued that it was applying, but the reporter was already able to purchase the detection product on the market at that time. The clerk also said The product has obtained FDA certification, which is inconsistent with the facts.
The report published in "Hong Kong 01" in 2020 also won the Evergrande Business News Award, Telly Awards, Zhang Guoxing Outstanding Young Communicator Award and Taiwan Photojournalism Competition.
This is the fifth consecutive year that "Hong Kong 01" has won the "Consumer Rights News Reporting Award" since its establishment.
