Location: Lung Kwu Tan, Tuen Mun
Area: 65,000 square feet
Operational Since: 2026
Services: One-stop waste management facility integrating collection, sorting, treatment, green technology R&D and green education.

Sorting and Treatment of Recyclables

Collected recyclables mainly waste paper, metals and plastics, are centrally sorted and processed at the Centre. Two near-infrared (NIR) automatic sorting lines, supported by manual sorting and baling, handle Type 1–7 plastics, while a thermal densifier compacts polyfoam for easier transportation. Sorted materials go to downstream recyclers, boosting the local recycling rate. 

Green Technology R&D

As Baguio's green technology hub, the Centre undertakes smart equipment development and testing, IoT applications, and big data platform development, enhancing environmental services through technology.

Confidential Waste Destruction

Three large-scale destruction machines, compliant with European security standards, securely destroy confidential documents, hard disks, and non-conforming goods. Recyclable materials recovered are recycled, ensuring both data security and resource efficiency.

Environmental Education Centre

Open to corporate visits, offering guided tours and green technology showcases that introduce Hong Kong's circular economy, from collection to recycling.

Confidential Materials Destruction

Location: Lung Kwu Tan, Tuen Mun
Area: 25,000 square feet
Operational Since: 2018
Services: Sorting, crushing, and grinding waste glass bottles into cullet for further recycling

Processing Capacity:

• Storage Capacity for Waste Glass Bottles: 1,500 tons
• Storage Capacity for Glass Cullet: 1,500 tons
• Maximum Crushing Capacity: 100 tons per day

Processing Technology:

The plant employs the patented Australian glass bottle crushing system Implosion System, whose crushing technology Krysteline has patent registration in the U.K. This technology efficiently breaks down glass bottles into specifically sized cullet.

Green Product:

• Glass Sand (Raw Material)

Facility Features:

• Equipped with a 24-hour monitoring system linked to a security control center to ensure safe and efficient plant operations.
• Features a wastewater treatment facility that combines activated sludge and membrane filtration technologies. This system is used in the barrel cleaning area to maintain cleanliness and hygiene, effectively reducing water pollution and conserving water resources.
• The Krysteline technology enhances the efficiency of the crushing process.

Environmental Education:

• The plant includes an education center.
• Guided tours and receptions for groups of up to 30 people are available.
• Lectures and field visits regarding glass bottle recycling and circular reprocessing are offered.
• These educational programs aim to increase public understanding and participation in recycling processes, raising awareness and engagement in environmental conservation.

Glass Sand  Green Sandbag

Location: Eco Park, Tuen Mun
Area: 65,000 square feet
Operational Since: 2022
Services: Recycling and processing of waste beverage bottles made of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) and personal care product bottles made of HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) into food-grade ready quality rPET and premium rHDPE flakes, used as raw materials for high-quality consumer and industrial products.

Processing Capacity:

Up to 60 tons per day of PET/HDPE waste plastics.

Processing Technology:

Advanced optical sorting machines classify bottles by type (PET or HDPE) and color based on the principle of spectral reflection.

Facility Features:

• The first facility to produce food-grade ready recycled plastic.
• Annually processes and recycles 35,000 tons of local waste PET and HDPE plastics.
• Environmental measures include wastewater treatment equipment, solar photovoltaic panels, and a recycled thermal energy heating system.

PET and HDPE Bottle Recycling Process:

• Bottles are uniformly fed into the processing line in bales.
• Metal impurities are removed using a magnetic separator, followed by sizing the bottles.
• Labels and contaminants are stripped from the bottle bodies.
• The bottles undergo wet cutting, crushing, and a dual heat washing process to achieve food-grade specifications.
• Optical sorters perform quality checks, and vibration troughs screen for appropriately sized flakes.

Product Quality:

• Each batch of products undergoes monitoring and testing in an in-house quality control laboratory.
• Ensures that product quality meets the highest standards.
• Extends the life of recyclable plastics.
• Supports sustainability goals.

Location: Eco Park, Tuen Mun 
Area: 37,000 square feet
Operational Since: 2023
Services: Recycling wooden waste, including yard waste and wood chips, into biochar

Processing Capacity:

Up to 15 tons per day

Processing Method:

Thermal decomposition process (Pyrolysis)

Environmental Products:

Biochar, Wood Vinegar

Process:

• Preliminary Sorting: Manual and magnetic devices remove non-wood materials at the initial sorting stage.
• Drying: The dryer, powered by a charcoal-fueled system, processes about 500 kg of raw materials per hour, with a maximum capacity of 2 tons per hour. A spiral belt in the machine helps regulate temperature.
• Pyrolysis: Heating at high temperatures (From 500 to 800 degrees Celsius) in an oxygen-free or oxygen-limited environmennt.
• Gas Treatment: Harmful substances in the gases produced during the pyrolysis are eliminated through a high-temperature thermal oxidation system before being released through a chimney.
• Cooling and Condensation: Substances in the hot gases liquify during the cooling process, forming a by-product—wood vinegar.

Product Features:

• Biochar: Known for its porous nature, low density, and high surface area, biochar is effective in adsorbing substances, making it ideal for soil improvement.
• Benefits: It enhances moisture and nutrient retention and regulates soil pH.
• Applications: Biochar is utilized in agriculture, horticulture, and as a building material.
