Swire Coca-Cola Hong Kong, in conjunction with Coca-Cola's brand membership program COKE+®️, will launch a redemption program, offering more residents the opportunity to participate in the guided tours and receive exclusive souvenirs, which can allow them to learn firsthand about the local beverage production process and how the brand has developed alongside the city. The brand hopes that the Coca-Cola Museum will transform the previous childhood memories into a platform for community, education, and business exchange, further deepening its close ties with Hong Kong.

Mr. Gam Jik, the CEO of Swire Coca-Cola Hong Kong for Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, said, "Since commencing bottling operations in Hong Kong in 1965, Swire Coca-Cola has grown from a local company to Coca-Cola's fifth largest bottling partner globally, serving more than one-tenth of the world's population. Hong Kong is not only a starting point for our brand's development, but also the core of our innovation and heritage." Looking ahead, Mr. Gam indicated that Swire Coca-Cola Hong Kong will continue to optimize its facilities to produce high-quality beverages, reaching into communities and building a world-class bottling business by 2026.

Mr. Richard Gould, the Director and General Manager of Swire Coca-Cola Hong Kong, stated that the brand will continue to grow alongside Hong Kong residents towards a more sustainable future: "From October 2025, the plastic bottles used for Swire Coca-Cola's locally produced 500ml Coca-Cola beverages and Bonaqua mineral water (1.5 liters or less) have primarily been made from locally recycled plastic, achieving a 'recycled locally, remanufactured locally' circular model. We also plan to continue leading Hong Kong by 2026, ensuring that over 50% of the packaging in the market uses recycled plastic (rPET), further consolidating our leadership in environmental protection and the circular economy." He added that education is also key to promoting sustainable development. In addition to promoting related concepts through museums, the brand will also collaborate with Coca-Cola to launch the learning resources of "Coca-Cola Recycling Academy", bringing recycling and sustainable development concepts into classrooms and communities to encourage environmental practices.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Portland Trail Blazers reserve center Yang Hansen walked off the court on his own after a scary collision and head injury midway through the fourth quarter against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.

Hansen scrambled for a loose ball under the Blazers' basket with 6:55 remaining and was trying to pass it out when Golden State's Will Richard made contact to the back of Hansen's head with his knee.

The Chinese big man was down grasping the back of his head for several minutes. His interpreter and medical staff rushed out to check on him and Hansen eventually was able to stand up and was escorted to the locker room. He then returned to the bench about 90 seconds later and played again.
