BEAM Plus Online Exhibition

O · PARK1

5 Sham Fung Road, Siu Ho Wan, North Lantau, N.T., Hong Kong

O · PARK1, the first organic resources recovery centre in Hong Kong with a treatment capacity of 200 tonnes per day, adopts anaerobic digestion technology to convert organic waste such as food waste into energy (electricity) and resources (compost). Apart from handling organic waste, visitors can also experience an exciting food waste-to-energy+resources adventure at the Visitor Centre, promoting a ‘food wise and waste less’ culture.
