HONG KONG, Dec 3, 2025 - (ACN Newswire) - ORCA, a global leader in on-site food-waste digestion technology, has partnered with Polytek Engineering Co. Ltd. as its exclusive distributor and service partner for Hong Kong. This collaboration marks an important step in ORCA's continued expansion in Hong Kong and contributes to its wider presence throughout the Greater Bay Area and Southeast Asia markets.

Addressing Hong Kong's Food Waste Challenge

Hong Kong continues to face significant challenges in waste management. In 2023, the city disposed of an average of 10,884 tonnes of municipal solids waste (MSW) per day. Food waste remained the largest single component, accounting for 29% or about 3,191 tonnes daily (info.gov.hk).

The government has made commendable progress—household food waste disposal fell by 12.6%, and recovery rates increased to 33% in 2023, up from 32% the previous year (info.gov.hk).

Still, the commercial and industrial sector contributes close to 1,000 tonnes of food waste daily, underscoring the need for scalable, sustainable solutions that can complement existing initiatives and support Hong Kong's long-term waste reduction goals (epd.gov.hk).
