APAC Energy Buzz: China’s war on waste means more than just clean plates

China's ‘Clean Plate’ campaign seeks to reduce food waste, an important message given the amounts of energy, water and land involved in food production. But broader efforts to tackle waste are aimed at far more than just food. In China today, excess is out, thriftiness is in. China’s war on waste is a part of a hugely ambitious push to restructure and repurpose its entire economy. Underpinning this is a massive shift to cleaner energy. The China of the future intends to be green, efficient and circular.
