The Group continued to provide Government-related waste collection services for five districts, serving a population of approximately 1.6 million. In terms of recycling, the Group is contracted by the EPD of the Government to provide collection services for thousands of recycling spots (including plastics, glass bottles, metals, waste paper and food waste) acrossHong Kong.

This product is expected to be gradually launched into the market in the year.
