HKWMA Membership Subscriptions for Session 2024/25

HKWMA’s membership starts on 1^st July every year, and it is time of the year to renew your HKWMA membership. HKWMA membership is growing, a sure sign of the interesting interest in the management of Hong Kong's Waste and we hope that you will continue to be involved.

The HKWMA continues to have a leading role in the arena of tHong Kong waste management and provides active and useful support to many stakeholders. The HKWMA offers an efficient platform for establishing valuable contacts and relevant, up-to-date information on interesting developments.

The next few years will continue to be significant for Hong Kong's waste management, with numerous new waste management facilities under construction, old facilities closing, and the continued development of innovative ways to reduce, recycle and treat our waste as a resource. As the main representatives of the waste management sector in Hong Kong and the HKWMA has an impact on matters related to waste management policies and their implementation.
