 In
the past year we studied how contractors manage waste on construction
sites. We are now drawing up requirements to further reduce construction
waste for our contractors to follow.

Over the past year, we have continued to receive support
from our residents and stakeholders to cut down on the amount of waste
going to landfill. Together, we have pursued waste reduction and waste
recycling initiatives in our estates. Our figures show estate residents
generated about 13% less domestic refuse than the previous year.
Apart from reducing waste, our residents also improved the proportion
of waste they separate for recycling. Through our residents efforts,
in 2001/2002, recovery rates of waste paper, aluminium cans and plastic
bottles improved compared to the previous year. We value our residents'
contributions and hope to meet our challenging recovery targets next
year.

We are consulting with Hong Kong Construction Association and major
developers on the way they draw up environmental management plans.
We intend to strengthen contract arrangements and are investigating
"Pay for Environment". |
