At the annual<\/span> <\/span>ReThink HK<\/span><\/a> <\/span>2025 conference, a team of five HKU students from the SLGP Programme<\/span> <\/span>Seunghyun Hong<\/a><\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>Kyoko Dobashi<\/a><\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>Clarence Watt<\/a><\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>Wang On Y.<\/a><\/span>, and<\/span> <\/span>Kenna Chan<\/a><\/span> <\/span>partnered with the youth-led organization<\/span> <\/span>2041 Hong Kong<\/span><\/a> <\/span>to launch a Circular Economy Social Experiment. The initiative engaged conference attendees to gauge public perception and assess the feasibility of implementing circular economy principles within Hong Kong.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>Our students would like to share a quick overview of what they found from the experiment and a few words of appreciation:<\/span>
<\/span>********************************************************************************<\/span>
<\/span>\u25cf    Most participants were from the Private Sector\/Business (54%), followed by NGO\/Non-profit\/Civil Society (20%), Academia\/Research\/Students (15%), Others (8%), and Government\/Public Sector (3%).<\/span>
<\/span> <\/span>
<\/span>\u25cf    74% of participants felt that the description, \u201cThe Circular Economy is an approach that focuses on recycling to reduce landfill waste while improving resource efficiency,\u201d doesn\u2019t fully capture what CE is all about.<\/span>
<\/span> <\/span>
<\/span>\u25cf    When asked who should take the lead in implementing the Circular Economy, participants ranked Government highest (35.6%), followed by Businesses (26.7%), Consumers (22.3%), NGOs (9.2%), and Academia\/Researchers (6.2%). This shows that people mainly expect public authorities and companies to drive the change.<\/span>
<\/span> <\/span>
<\/span>\u25cf    The biggest barriers to CE implementation were seen as unsupportive Policies and Regulations (36.7%) and Financial Concerns (34.9%). Limited consumer understanding, supply chain complexity, and lack of executive leadership were mentioned less often (all under 15%).<\/span>
<\/span> <\/span>
<\/span>\u25cf    Supportive Government Policies and Regulations were also seen as the top enabler (43.4%), with Financial Incentives next (23.3%). Consumer awareness, executive leadership, and collaborative supply chains were seen as smaller supporting factors.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span> <\/span>A big thank you to<\/span> <\/span>Dr. Margaret Burnett (Hinch)<\/a><\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>Christie Lai, CEP\u00ae<\/a><\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>Rachel Yan<\/a><\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>Justin Yeung<\/a><\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>Leon Schachter<\/a><\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>Adella Budianto<\/a><\/span>, Sophie, Queenie, and<\/span> <\/span>Shruthe Kirupakaran<\/a><\/span> <\/span>for all their guidance and support in making this experiment possible. And of course, thanks to ReThink HK for supporting us!<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>We look forward to digging deeper into the data and publishing a full report soon. If you\u2019re curious about the findings, reach out to us and<\/span> <\/span>2041 Hong Kong<\/span><\/a> <\/span>on LinkedIn. Stay tuned!<\/span>
