In light of the recent legislative developments in Hong Kong, we at “Hip Shing Poly‐Bag Industrial Limited” wish to provide clarity and assurance regarding the status of our flexible packaging solutions under the new Product Eco‐responsibility (Amendment) Bill 2023, which was passed on October 18, 2023.
Overview of the Amendment Bill
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government has introduced the Product Eco‐responsibility (Amendment) Bill 2023 to regulate disposable plastic tableware and other plastic products, aiming to enhance environmental sustainability and reduce plastic waste. The legislation focuses on the phased regulation of specific disposable plastic items, including expanded polystyrene (EPS) tableware, straws, stirrers, cutlery, plates, cups, and a series of other disposable plastic products.
Our Products and the Amendment Bill
We want to explicitly reassure our clients and partners that our flexible packaging products are not subject to the regulations outlined in the Amendment Bill. Our product range does not include the disposable plastic tableware or other plastic products targeted by the legislation.
