As part of the Better Business Innovation Series, the American and British Chamber of Commerce (Amcham & BritCham) brought together key players in sustainability, from start-ups and NGOs to established businesses, members of government, academia and the investment community to explore the challenges we face in the Food and Beverage sector.
Hong Kong has the highest restaurant to population ratio in the world which is why the F&B sector is the key player in the push for change. Donating surplus food is the first step to better use our resources and in this talk, I took the opportunity to call on the audience to make an effort and “lead the change”.

- Leah Birkby, Live Zero, on zero waste grocery shopping
