Given its size and nature, the food service industry is resource intensive and generates large volumes of waste, such as disposable plastic tableware, food waste, and other types of municipal solid waste. In the short future, waste disposal will come at a cost. This is due to the introduction of municipal solid waste charging in Hong Kong. Hence, it brooks no delay to explore how resource use can become more efficient through collaborating with other value chain actors in realizing the circular economy.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Capstone <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To deepen the collaborations between SVC Commitment Signatories and their nominated SME Participating Organisations in the Scheme, this year a practice-based approach (Capstone) is adopted.
