Hong Kong’s dead and dying trees given a second life

HK Timberbank is a Hong Kong social enterprise that turns tree waste into furniture and art installations. Founder Ricci Wong launched the organisation after Typhoon Mangkhut uprooted tens of thousands of trees in the city. With more than 300 tonnes (330 tons) of trees recycled in 2020, HK Timberbank hopes to make a positive impact by eventually reducing the city’s reliance on imported wood.
