Prevent, reuse and recycle food waste
We incentivise “Less Mixian” and “Light Mixian” orders to promote mindful consumption and prevent food waste at source. By launching pilot food waste recycling programs with landlords in Hong Kong, we aim to reduce landfill waste. We are actively exploring opportunities to expand these initiatives to private shopping malls, further reducing solid waste and promoting recyclability. In collaboration with Foodlink Foundation and Feeding Hong Kong, we regularly donate surplus pork belly from our Central Kitchen to be transformed into meal boxes for those in need.
Eliminating single-use plastics
Since 2020, our restaurants have replaced plastic bags and bowls with TDPA™ and P-Life® additives, enabling faster degradation. We have also improved takeaway packaging designs and changed to use paper straws to reduce plastic usage. In FY2022/23, our plastic packaging materials decreased by 5% compared to the previous year. Starting from October 2023, we have replaced all plastic takeaway cutlery with eco-friendly paper alternatives. Additionally, we actively encourage our customers to opt for reusable tableware when ordering takeaway, further reducing our environmental impact.
Get ready for a climate-resilient future
We have engaged a third-party consultant, KPMG, to conduct standardised Climate Risk Assessment to identify our unique risks and opportunities. In the preparation stage, we are undergoing a 12-month climate awareness and capacity-building program, which the first section has been successfully conducted in early 2023.
