Visit to Hong Kong Battery Recycling Centre

03-12-2022 (Sat) 

10:30am–12:00pm

香港電池回收中心有限公司 (“HKBR”) 為香港產生的廢鉛酸電池 (“WLAB”) 提供最終處置和綜合回收解決方案。

WLAB 是一種有毒的化學廢物。如果處理不當，WLAB 可能對土壤和水源生態系統造成長期破壞性影響，特別是在香港人口這麼稠密的城市。

因 WLAB 具有毒性，所以它的回收、處理和再利用過程需要非常謹滇，否則會有機會導致重污染。國際及香港法規對任何形式的有毒化學廢物出口或填埋均嚴厲禁止和控制。

憑藉其最先進的技術，HKBR 是香港第一家獲得政府部門許可的本地廢鉛酸電池回收再利用工廠，為這種有毒化學廢物提供最清潔，最安全，最優秀的解決方案。

HKBR 在香港環保園處理所有 WLAB，確保 WLAB的可追踩性，100% 在本地處理及再利用，讓所有持份者都得益：

• 保護香港，節省垃圾填埋空間，消除重金屬污染的風險。重金屬污染是最持久、最具破壞性、最不可逆轉和最昂貴的污染之一
• 減少浪費並提高 WLAB 的再利用率
• 安全運輸，處理和回收 WLAB
• 通過回收和支持當地環保行業，增強 WLAB 使用者的環境，社會和治理 (“ESG”) 聲譽
• 法律確定性：符合香港廢物處置條例和巴塞爾禁令，跟踩 WLAB 和簽發運載紀錄
• 阻止 WLAB 的非法處理

Hong Kong Battery Recycling Centre Limited (“HKBR”) is mandated to provide final disposal and fully integrated recycling solution for waste lead acid battery (“WLAB”) generated in Hong Kong.

WLAB is a toxic chemical waste. If not disposed of properly, WLAB can cause long term devastating consequences for rural soil and water systems, particularly in a densely populated city such as Hong Kong.

The collection, handling and recycling process of WLAB is complicated by its toxicity. Any form of disposal by way of export or landfill is strictly prohibited and regulated by international and local safety ordinances.

With its state-of-the-art technology, HKBR is the first facility in Hong Kong that is licensed to recycle WLAB locally, providing the cleanest, safest, and most optimal solution for this hazardous waste.

HKBR treats all WLAB in Hong Kong Ecopark, ensuring full traceability of your WLAB, which are 100% locally processed and recycled, making it a win win for all stakeholders:

• Protect Hong Kong, save landfill space and eliminate the risk of heavy metal pollution, one of the most long-lasting, damaging, irreversible and costly forms of pollution
• Minimize wastage & maximize recyclability of WLAB
• Safe transportation, disposal and recycling of WLAB
• Enhanced environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) reputation through recycling and supporting local business
• Legal Certainty: Hong Kong Waste Disposal Ordinance and Basel Ban compliance, tracking of WLAB and issuance of trip tickets
• Discourage illegal disposal of WLAB

BEC EnviroSeries Conference: Formulating Business Roadmaps Towards Net Zero

29 Nov 2022

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has clearly stated that to possibly limit global warming to 1.5°C and avoid devastating climate impacts, global emissions must peak by 2025, halve by 2030, and reach net zero by 2050. Mainland China plans to become carbon-neutral by 2060 while the Hong Kong SAR Government has a 2050 commitment, supported by action plans stated in the Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan 2050 (CAP2050) released in October 2021.
 
The stark reality is global emissions are still rising. The United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP) is shifting the discussions from commitments to actions, where countries committed to develop a work programme to speed up actions on emission cuts before 2030, which is also a major focus of the upcoming COP27.
 
The CAP2050 includes a four-pronged decarbonisation strategy - net-zero electricity generation, energy saving and green buildings, green transport, and waste reduction. The strategy is presented at city-wide level, and different industries in Hong Kong will have to explore and understand the challenges, opportunities and operational changes they need to adopt to reach carbon neutrality.

In this connection, the Conference will (a) steer industry-specific discussions on how sectoral net-zero roadmaps are developed and what practical steps are needed towards 2030, 2035 and 2050 to bridge ambition and action, (b) inspire peer companies within the specific industry to accelerate action planning, and (c) inform Hong Kong businesses how COP27 or the latest international climate negotiations would have implications to their roadmap and action.
