SwedCham Hong Kong is inviting members to join them on a field trip to Alba WEEE PARK. Although it may sound like a theme park filled with rollercoasters, WEEE PARK actually stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Treatment and Recycling Facility.
Nonetheless, the trip will include a guided tour and as well a short seminar with Nigel Mattravers, Director & General Manager at ALBA.
This is what SwedCham writes about ALBA:
ALBA Integrated Waste Solutions (Hong Kong) Ltd. (ALBA IWS) is a joint venture company which was established between the recycling specialist ALBA Group from Germany and local solid waste management service provider Integrated Waste Solutions Group Holdings Limited. (IWS)
The Hong Kong Government entered into a contract with ALBA IWS to design and build the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Treatment and Recycling Facility (WEEE·PARK), provide a collection service and operate the facility until 2027. The facility uses state-of-the art technology provided by the ALBA Group to process refrigerators, TVs, computers, washing machines and air conditioners into valuable secondary raw materials while controlling the management of the hazardous materials that are contained in this equipment.
