On this programme, we looked at the latest policy change on Hong Kong's waste paper recycling. Starting from tomorrow, Hong Kong will pulp all recovered waste paper locally at the EcoPark facility in Tuen Mun rather than relying on exports.
Then, a local NGO talked about the rising trend in child abuse cases in recent years.
After the break, we learned about a joint study by the University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen University and Tsinghua University, which found that the United States' efforts to restrict access to proprietary technologies may potentially narrow the technological divide between China and the US in the long term.
To wrap it up, a representative from Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden told us about its latest campaign on promoting plant-forward eating in Hong Kong.
