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.

Technical Webinar on Preventive fire protection in electrical installation

25 Oct 2022

There are over 2 million fires reported in Europe every year and over 34% of fires are caused by electricity – one-third of which are attributed to dangerous arcing faults. In this newsletter, we will introduce arcing fault detection and how our Arc Fault Detection Device (AFDD) can provide preventive protection against fires.

Arcing fault is the ignition caused by a very high current density and the explosive melting in conjunction with a movement of contacts. To minimize the fire risk caused by arcing fault, EMSD recommends installing the AFDD in particular areas. In supporting you to align with current regulatory requirements, we are pleased to present the AFDD technology in the coming Webinar., and you are cordially invited to join our webinar on 25 Oct 2022.

BEC EnviroSeries Conference: Transforming Business for Sustainability

Date and Time

1 December 2021, 09:45 to 16:35

Venue

BEC Auditorium and Online

Synopsis

COVID-19 has reshaped the way we live our lives, forcing us to re-examine priorities, re-consider the status quo and innovate solutions to thrive under the ‘new normal’. Early on, as everyone fought the pandemic through lockdowns around the world, it was expected that sustainability would move down the list of priorities with the business sector facing certain economic downturn. In fact, we observed the opposite trend with even more ambitious actions to combat climate change, address circularity and enhance contributions to building a sustainable living environment.

Learning from this shared pandemic experience, there is an accelerated shift in business focus to long-term value creation that considers the needs of stakeholders beyond shareholders including consumers, employees and the wider society. In an increasingly unpredictable world, the expectations stakeholders have of the business sector change rapidly and companies must respond. Taking a reactive stance is not good enough. Leadership must transform to be more proactive to pre-empt emerging risks and openly embrace opportunities.

The announcement of a series of blueprints this year by the HKSAR Government on key environmental policies including waste management and resource circularity, popularisation of electric vehicles, air quality management, and carbon neutrality offers a glimpse of a sustainable Hong Kong in the future. Achieving sustainability requires multi-sector collaboration for transformative change and the business community is at the forefront of this transformation through learning, sharing and leading responsible business practices.

Objectives of the conference:

Following the June 2021 EnviroSeries Conference entitled “Redefining Business Leadership for Green Growth”, this conference aims to continue the conversation on how business transformation would enable the building of a green and sustainable Hong Kong. Specifically, the conference will

(a)    share, showcase and discuss best practices and success stories in business transformation from selected industries, and
(b)    inspire BEC members and the wider business community to push for transformational strategies and ambitious actions conducive to long-term sustainability and the creation of shared value for society.

2nd Intake CPR & AED Course第二期心肺復甦法及自動心臟除顫器課程

對於拯救心臟驟停的患者，每遲一分鐘為其進行除顫電擊，他們的存活率便會減少百分之七至十，故能越早為他們進行除顫器急救，可大大提升生存機會。香港消防處為進一步在社區推廣心臟驟停急救法，現正向公眾人士免費提供「擊活人心」- 心肺復甦法及自動心臟除顫器課程，教導公眾如何使用除顫器，以期當有心臟驟停時，附近的人可即時為其進行急救，從而提升患者的存活率。

When cardiac arrest takes place, every second counts. The best action is to deliver a shock via defibrillator. Otherwise, the survival rate decreases by 7% to 10 % in each following minute. To uplift the survival rate, the Hong Kong Fire Services Department undertakes to train members of the public in using defibrillator for free.

Event Date: 19 December 2020

Venue: Room 6, 9th Floor, Elite Industrial Centre, 883 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon.

對於拯救心臟驟停的患者，每遲一分鐘為其進行除顫電擊，他們的存活率便會減少百分之七至十，故能越早為他們進行除顫器急救，可大大提升生存機會。香港消防處為進一步在社區推廣心臟驟停急救法，現正向公眾人士免費提供「擊活人心」- 心肺復甦法及自動心臟除顫器課程，教導公眾如何使用除顫器，以期當有心臟驟停時，附近的人可即時為其進行急救，從而提升患者的存活率。

When cardiac arrest takes place, every second counts. The best action is to deliver a shock via defibrillator. Otherwise, the survival rate decreases by 7% to 10 % in each following minute. To uplift the survival rate, the Hong Kong Fire Services Department undertakes to train members of the public in using defibrillator for free.

BEC EnviroSeries Conference 2020: Urban Transport on the Move: Connecting Policies, People and Business Opportunities

Date / Time / Format

27 November 2020, 09:25 to 17:00, Online

Synopsis

Transport is an important sector in Hong Kong – it enables the movements of people and goods, facilitates Hong Kong’s efficient commercial and business functions, and contributes to Hong Kong’s economic performance. At the personal level, transport supports people’s mobility needs and gets them connected.

However, unchecked growth in motorisation, over-reliance on fossil fuel vehicles and a car-centric city planning culture will exacerbate the transport sector’s impact on the environment. There are calls for rethinking the role of transport in the urban landscape and how cities should be planned so as to balance maintaining the mobility functions and to minimising externalities such as air pollution, greenhouse gases emissions and the loss of public space. 

With COVID-19 and climate change, these questions become even more valid and pressing.  It is timely and necessary for policy makers, the business sector and the general public to explore how COVID-19 and decarbonsiation will reshape urban mobility. There are opportunities to respond to the changing mobility need of people and delivery of goods as well as to transform transport operation for better efficiency and enhanced resilience.

EnviroSeries Conference is one of BEC’s flagship events held twice per year that aims to provide a cross-sector forum to discuss and address key issues related to Hong Kong’s environmental sustainability. This is now an opportune time for us to re-visit and re-focus on transport.

Abstract
Small city is the goal of many city government and Hong Kong is no exception. The government has embarked on an ambitious plan to development Hong Kong “[to] embrace innovation and technology to build a world-famed Smart Hong Kong characterised by a strong economy and high quality of living” (Hong Kong Smart City Blusprint, 2017). In this respect, effort in the private sector is also pivotal and facility management plays an important role. This also echoes the core value of IFMA in innovation and knowledge sharing. However, in the development of smart city, it is not uncommon to put emphasis only on smart devices as well as the collection and manipulation of big data, the humanistic aspect of smart city is easy to be undermined. In my presentation, I shall present a human-driven approach to smart city development and discuss on how facility management can facilitate such approach. It would ensure the investment in smart devices and the utility of big data can be fully explored for the improvement of quality city life as well as to advance facility management as a driving force of social development on top of its valuable contribution to economic development.

Abstract
20 years ago the Facility Management sector was not really popular for young Engineers willing to develop and put into practice their technical and innovative skills. Most FM companies were classified and recognized in their capabilities to propose a high level of Soft Services (i.e cleaning, security, waste management).

The traditional hard services (i.e HVAC, Fire Services, lighting) was a non negotiable must have to guarantee the comfort of the users but without real added value. More hidden the better it was. Today things are different because the needs are different both for users and owners. Comfort increasing , Energy savings, traceability and transparency changed the game. Hard Services is returning to the front of the stage and the technological development has radically transformed the role of the Facility Manager and its contractors.

To embrace this new challenges Southa Holdings has operated its digital transformation to propose toits Customers innovative and technological solutions. Energy Monitoring Center (HUBGRADE), Mobility solutions, predictive maintenance are one of our In-house solutions to fit our FM customers requirements.

Technical Webinar on New Regulatory Amendment of Minor Works Control System - Updated Requirements and Best Practices
22nd September 2020

Programme Highlight: 
The Minor Works Control System (“MWCS”) has proven to be a simple and convenient channel in carrying out minor building works under simplified requirements without the need to obtain prior approval of plans and consent to the commencement of such works from the BA.  Its implementation is generally welcomed by both the industry and the public.  Since its implementation beginning from 31 December 2010 and up to 31 December 2019, over 920 000 minor works (“MW”) submissions have been received.     

The Building (Minor Works) (Amendment) Regulation 2020 (“B(MW)(A)R 2020”) was gazetted on 8 May 2020 and will come into operation on 1/9/2020. This legislative amendment exercise would involve the addition of 70 MW items offset by the repealing of nine MW items, as a result of which the list of MW items would increase from 126 to 187.  56 existing MW items would also be amended.  In terms of Designated Exempted Works items, the legislative amendment exercise would increase the number from 15 to 30, while the presentation of eight existing items would be amended.  BSOMES has representative joining the Technical Committee of Buildings Department and provide opinions / comments from Industry on the implementation of the MWCS.  

In this seminar, the honourable speakers from Buildings Department will brief the major changes and new addition of MW items under the B(MW)(A)R 2020 including: 

• Greening features to promote a green and quality environment, e.g. planters, ponds or fountains; trellises; metal frames for growing of plants 
• Amenity features to improve the standard and quality of the building, e.g. supporting frame for suspending air conditioning plant inside building; ventilation ducts and associated frames; fire dampers in ventilation system; awnings 
• Building maintenance and repair features to enhance building safety and facilitate building maintenance, e.g. small-sized reinforced polyester water tanks, cat-ladders, curtain wall, cladding
