    Circular fashion initiatives / Hung Shui Kiu transit system / Audible traffic signal revamp

    Presenters:Azam Khan and Philip Wong

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we discussed fast-fashion and its impact on the environment.

    NGO 'Redress' has recently launched a campaign to encourage sustainable fashion, while another Hong Kong-based platform, Open Lab, has introduced an AI-powered system to boost garment recycling. We spoke to representatives from both organisations. Is sustainable fashion a workable model that can reduce damage to the environment? Or is it just another trend for corporations to 'dress-up' the issue?
    After the break, we asked a government spokesperson more about the proposed Hung Shui Kiu Smart and Green Mass Transit System, which the government is aiming to invite tender for next year.
    Towards the end of the show, we discussed the government's move to replace all of Hong Kong’s electronic audible traffic signal units to provide greater convenience for people who are visually impaired.
