Gov’t expands GREEN$ scheme with redeemable e-points

E-points can be used to redeem gifts at over 500 retail stores.

Hong Kongers can now convert GREEN$ Points into MoneyBack e-points, according to the Environmental Protection Department.

The move aims to enhance the GREEN$ Electronic Participation Incentive Scheme (GREEN$ ePIS) and encourage public participation in recycling.

Last year, the department launched an electronic redemption option via the GREEN$ ePIS, which has now been expanded to include the new conversion feature.

MoneyBack e-points can be used to redeem gifts at more than 500 supermarkets and retail stores across the city.

In addition, AS Watson, the operator of MoneyBack, will launch an extra 1 million time-limited MoneyBack e-points rewards and exclusive GREEN$ ePIS green offers at the end of April.

These can be used to redeem vouchers for food, personal care products, and electrical appliances.
