Hong Kong residents throw away 400 million takeaway coffee cups every year, says a green group. It says we should all reuse utensils more often.
Greenpeace made a survey of more than 1,000 residents last month. It found that about a third of the people bought takeaway coffee three times a week. Because Hong Kong has a population of 7.76 million people, the green group estimates that about 400 million plastic and paper cups are thrown away every year.
