Recycling and energy-saving

From Trash to Treasure.
An exhibition titled "From Trash to Treasureā€œ was held at Terminal 2 from early May to mid-July 2011. Co-organised by the Airport Authority (AA) and the Hong Kong Institute of Contemporary Culture, the exhibition showcased product designs and artworks by a group of young designers, who explore the possibilities of turning trash into useful items.

More than 300 AA colleagues supported the "Carfree Day" and opted for the greener option when travelling to work on 22 September 2010. Organised by Greenpeace, the campaign aimed to promote public awareness on greenhouse gas emitted from vehicles, and encourage people to use public transport over private vehicles.

The AA staff lent their support to the first "Hong Kong No Air-con Night" organised by Green Sense. Participants pledged to turn off their air conditioning at home for 12 hours beginning 7:00pm on 29 September 2010. The event aimed to promote energy saving and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

To promote carbon reduction and energy efficiency, the AA and China Light & Power Company (CLP) co-organised a site visit to the Energy Efficiency Exhibition Centre on 26 August 2010. About 30 participants from 20 companies and government departments of the airport community were introduced to the latest energy efficient technologies.

Conscientious Recycling Charter
The AA pledged its support to Friends of the Earth (HK) "Conscientious Recycling Charter", starting from April 2010. The Charter seeks to properly handle used electronic appliances, to prevent hazardous electronic waste poisoning, and encourage their reuse by donation to the needy. The AA has engaged colleagues in collecting unwanted electronic equipment which was donated to people in need.

Since 2009, we have supported WWF's Earth Hour by turning off all non-essential lighting for one hour at HKIA Tower and Airport World Trade Centre.

We also supported Friends of the Earth's "Dim It! 6.21 Lights Out" campaign by switching off the Terminal 2 facade light for two hours in June 2009.

LightSavers
Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) supported The Climate Group's "LightSavers" programme by installing and testing eight sets of outdoor LED lighting at one of the airport car parks since January 2010. It is estimated that about 2,500 kg of carbon emission can be reduced each year by using these LED lighting.

More than 400 AA staff supported the Greenpeace "Carfree Day" on 22 September 2009. The event encourages people to avoid using personal vehicles and opt for public transport. CEO Stanley Hui, Airport Operations Executive Director Howard Eng and other senior management members supported the event by taking Airport Express to work on that day.
