Hong Kong people produced:


      3237 tonnes of leftovers every day

      37.5kg every second

      75 McDonald¡¯s Big Mac Meal
Fraction of Food Waste Produced by Mass every
                         day in HK in 2010

                                        26%
                                    (840 tonnes)
                       74%                                           commerce

            5 parts to deal with the leftovers
                 1.    Enclosed pretreatment area
                 2.    Composting drum units
