Confirming Outcomes/Planning and Research

Prior to the meeting surrounding the decision of deciding on what types of statistics and animation styles. Me and the Director have collected each a certain amount of information surrounding our topic and we decided to pick out some statistics from what we found to use for the few animations which will be used for the final outcome. The statistics that we found are shown below.

  • The top five items were plastic tableware such as straws and cutlery, plastic bags,
  • plastic bottles, food packaging and polystyrene fragments, according to Greenpeace East Asia.
  • Plastic makes up about 20 percent of the Hong Kong daily municipal waste.
  • About 154 tonnes of disposable plastic tableware – 9 per cent of plastic waste and 2 per cent
  • of all municipal waste – went into the city’s overflowing landfills in 2016.
  • Hong Kong’s municipal waste generation has increased 80 per cent over the past 30 years.
  • Cafe de Coral, Fairwood and Maxim’s use 180 million pieces of disposable plastic a year
  • in Hong Kong, Greenpeace study finds
  • Hong Kong buries 2,100 tonnes of its landfill daily with plastic waste, most of the plastic waste consisted
  • of plastic packaging
  • 95% of the value of plastic packaging is estimated to be lost after being used once, Hong Kong ends
  • up losing around US$120 billion (HK$940 billion) each year
  • Less than 15% of plastic waste is recycled in Hong Kong




Overall, after discussing for a while ,we chose the data which is highlighted above because we think that they are the easiest to rephrase into shorter and more detailed sentences and also these pieces of data has statistics as in numbers such as 80% and 30 years. Me and my director has agreed on me using power point to create to the info graphic because me and him know that I have experience in using power-point and he thinks I should use a software in which I'm comfortable with and used to using.
