Page "Headline Daily" Paragraph 35

Moreover, some critics also think that free distribution may lead to greater wastage of paper.

For example, a family with a few sets of free newspapers might end up throwing all of them into the dustbin directly without using them for other purposes as they did not pay for the newspapers.

According to Friends of the Earth, on average, only 32 % of newspaper-readers will dump their unwanted newspapers into recycle boxes.

Since there are 500, 000 issues of Headline Daily published every Monday to Friday, the wastage of paper and disposal problems may contribute significantly to the worsening of Hong Kong's pollution.
