As Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, everyone will receive various types of mooncakes. An environmental group's survey found that Hong Kong wasted over 3.2 million mooncakes last year, with an average of 1.2 mooncakes wasted per household, indicating a slight improvement compared to the previous year.
 
This year, Hopewell Centre continued to support the mooncake recycling program by collecting mooncakes at the Customer Service Center, becoming one of the public mooncake collection points, and encouraging the public to reduce waste.
 
The recycling program is organized by FOOD-CO, a subsidiary of St. James' Settlement, with the aim of collecting the mooncakes people have received as gifts and donating them to individuals in the community who are in need, sharing the joy of the festival.
