How Furry Green Upcycles Food Waste into Sustainable Pet Food

Pirry Leung, inspired by his work at a food-waste recycling facility, founded Furry Green in 2020. The startup transforms unspoiled leftover ingredients into sustainable pet food, aiming to reduce Hong Kong's daily food waste of 3,600 tonnes.
