Lung Kwu Tan: the village paying for Hong Kong’s zero landfill vision

Life at Lung Kwu Tan village, located at the west end of Tuen Mun, is disrupted by the construction of I･PARK 2, an emerging waste-to-energy incinerator. Villagers worry about even more garbage trucks driving through Lung Kwu Tan Rd, the only road connecting the residential area with the outside world.

I･PARK 2 is crucial to help Hong Kong achieve the zero-landfill goal for direct municipal waste disposal, as set out in the Waste Blueprint 2035. However, Tuen Mun West already hosts many energy and waste facilities, including the WENT Landfill Extension Project and T･Park, the first self-sustainable waste-to-energy facility in Hong Kong that uses sewage sludge as fuel.
