Event Overview
To implement the environmental policy of resource recycling and reuse, the Environmental Protection Bureau (DSPA) continues to organize the 'Red Packet Recycling Good Easy' activity during the Lunar New Year period. The initiative promotes the green message of 'Use Less New, Reuse More, Don't Waste' to the public, encouraging the reuse and recycling of old red packets to reduce paper waste.
