The Hong Kong government is considering legislation to make glass recycling mandatory.
Secretary for the Environment Wong Kam-sing said the legislation would target mainly wine and other beverage bottles.
He did not say who would be responsible for the recycling, but an environmental group said it would probably be importers or retailers.
Wong expected details of the legislation to be released in March, with new measures introduced by the end of the year. Glass accounts for 3% of all waste in the city, and only 5% of it is recycled, he said.
