Hong Kong Innovator's Food Waste System Gains Traction

Rosie Chan Man-wai, a Hong Kong innovator, faced initial doubts when she introduced her food waste recycling system. Her unique design, now operated by 'Entomics', is gaining traction for its flexibility and adaptability.

Chan's system, initially met with scepticism, has evolved into a modular, stackable, and customisable unit. It's built from upcycled transport pallets, demonstrating her commitment to sustainability.

The system's core lies in its adaptability. It caters to various needs, offering manual versions for schools and automated ones for hotels. It's designed to serve schools, farms, residential estates, and businesses across Hong Kong.

Chan's innovation uses black soldier fly larvae to convert food waste into fertiliser and protein. This process, known as 'vermicomposting', is not only eco-friendly but also creates valuable by-products.

Rosie Chan's food waste recycling system, operated by 'Entomics', is proving its worth despite initial scepticism. Its flexibility, adaptability, and eco-friendly approach make it a promising solution for Hong Kong's waste management challenges.
