Can produce up to 230 million metric tons of public fill in 15 years
According to the authorities, Hong Kong produces an average of 15 million metric tons of public fill each year. In 10-15 years, it can produce about 150 million to 230 million metric tons. The government will give priority to the use of reclamation materials.
As for the machine-made sand mainly used in the rest, it is a by-product of the quarry. The production volume can be adjusted according to demand. Many quarries in the Pearl River Delta in the Mainland can provide supply.
