Technical Visit of Recycling Fund

Oyster shells have various uses.  Besides providing habitats for marine life, purifying water, and protecting coastlines, they can also be used as building materials.  “Green Island Environmental Technologies Limited” collects waste oyster shells with the support of the "Enterprise Support Programme (ESP)” under the Recycling Fund's “Solicitation Theme on Projects from New and Start-up Enterprises”.  These shells are collected and delivered to a local cement manufacturing plant to replace limestone made of virgin material, which is one of the ingredients for production of cement.   This provides a sustainable material option for the construction industry, aiming not only to reduce waste but also to achieve a circular economy and resource reuse.  Additionally, it promotes the development of a sustainable dining experience. 

The Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) as the Secretariat of the Recycling Fund will arrange a technical visit to “Green Island Environmental Technologies Limited” to introduce the collection of waste oyster shells and their production process.  To facilitate mingling and communicate among in the recycling industry in Hong Kong, your company/ organisation is welcome to participate in this visit.
