To enhance the attractiveness of the GREEN$ Electronic Participation Incentive Scheme (GREEN$ ePIS) and encourage the public to participate in recycling, the Environmental Protection Department announced today that people can now convert GREEN$ Points to MoneyBack e-points.
The department explained that it introduced, via the GREEN$ ePIS scheme, a new electronic redemption option in February last year, allowing participants to convert their GREEN$ Points for a wider variety of electronic rewards.
Recently, the program has been further expanded to include the conversion of Green$ Points into e-points on the retail reward platform MoneyBack.
Noting that the gift redemption of GREEN$ ePIS is keeping pace with the times and transitioning into a digital form, the department said that people can now convert GREEN$ Points to MoneyBack e-points with the GREEN$ mobile app, allowing them to redeem gifts freely at more than 500 supermarkets and retail stores in the city.
This is in addition to rewards such as MTR tickets and local eco-tours, it added.
To support the full rollout of the GREEN$ ePIS’s new point redemption function, AS Watson Group, which operates MoneyBack, will launch an extra 1 million MoneyBack time-limited e-points rewards and exclusive GREEN$ ePIS green offers at the end of April.
This is for the redemption of food, personal care products and electrical appliances vouchers, encouraging public participation in recycling and the use of the GREEN$ Points conversion feature.
Meanwhile, GREEN@TUEN MUN has been relocated from Tuen Yee Street to the new location on Lung Chak Road, where it commenced operation on March 19 to support the MTR Tuen Mun South Extension project.
