HONG KONG Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) has received the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) Environmental Management Recognition Scheme Grand Award, for its continuing efforts to reduce waste.

Hactl winning submission majored on its benchmarking methods, staff training and education, and its waste management performance. In an on-site assessment in August 2017, and two further surveillance visits in November and February, Hactl scored full marks.

Throughout 2017, Hatch reused or recycled 95 per cent of plastics waste, 97 per cent of paper, and 68 per cent of wood.

Hatch is the first Hong Kong handler to receive the award, which was presented to the company抯 quality assurance manager Benny Suit by Hong Kong Environment Secretary Wong Kim-sing.

Said Mr Siu: "There have been many contributing factors in our results, including our annual Green Week held in collaboration with Friends of the Earth, and the reduction in paper use made possible by our COSAC-Plus management system.

"It becomes increasingly challenging to find new ways to further reduce Hactl's environmental impact, but we remain determined to improve our performance through new and innovative measures," Mr Siu said.
