Ask the government to upgrade public water fountains.
From Drink Without Waste
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and Food and Hygiene Department (FEHD) have suspended more than 1,000 water dispensers for almost two years now, forcing visitors of public facilities to buy bottled water or packaged drinks.
Sign this petition asking government to speed up the replacement of all suspended water fountains with new bottle refill stations and promote the “Bring Your Own Bottle” waste reduction strategy.

Deadline: This petition will end 3 April 2022.
The type of dispensers is the key determining factor in the availability of dispensers. Drink Without Waste and Eat Without Waste petition the government to speed up the replacement of all suspended water fountains with new bottle refill stations, which has low hygiene risk. This is to provide citizens drinking water under the epidemic and promote the “Bring Your Own Bottle” waste reduction strategy.
Established in September 2017, the Single-Use Beverage Packaging Working Group represents a unique approach to developing facilitating and implementing much needed solutions to reduce and manage single use beverage packaging waste in Hong Kong.
Drink Without Waste invites all producers, importers, retailers, waste management services, the HKSAR government, consumers and NGOs to support their pledge to:
- Reduce the waste from our beverage consumption
- Recover 70 to 90% of our used beverage packaging
- Create a circular economy where used packaging has a market value that incentivizes recovery, recycling and re-use
