Hong Kong: HML launched Green @ HKCEC at Hong Kong Book Fair

30.07.2023

Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management) Limited (“HML”) launched Green @ HKCEC, its first-ever food waste collection campaign, at the Hong Kong Book Fair (held from 19 to 25 July).

The campaign received huge support from exhibitors and visitors with almost 2,300kg of food waste collected. The food waste will be sent to O・Park1, the HKSAR Government’s food waste processing facility, for upcycling into energy. Determined to its green promise, HML indicated its plan to expand the ‘’Green @ HKCEC” to other areas and would also seek to promote the importance of waste reduction at source through different activities.

During the 7-day Book Fair, HML put in place waste sorting and recycling bins at the Food@Grand Hall and Food@Hall 5E (F&B area for exhibitors). The HKCEC Buddy “ExhiBit” took on the role of Green @ HKCEC ambassador to play quizzes about food waste recycling with children and give out delicious popcorn to winners.

HML managing director Monica Lee-Müller said, “HML would like to thank the organiser, exhibitors, visitors and contractors for their support of Green @ HKCEC. The campaign has not only enhanced public awareness of food waste sorting but also increased the HML team’s resonance with the green pledge and drive to put it into action. HML is one of the first organisations in Hong Kong to utilise O・Park1 since its opening in 2018. In a move to offer tangible support to waste reduction, food waste collected from restaurants, kitchens, and banquets at the HKCEC is collected and sent to O・Park1 for transformation to energy.’

In addition to promoting food waste sorting and recycling, HML expanded its recycling efforts to cover plastic wrap last year. Plastic wrap is used for transport and delivery of exhibits. HML has made large recycling cages accessible during exhibition move-in and move-out to encourage organisers, exhibitors and contractors to recycle the used plastic wrap. Since the launch of the programme in July 2022 to the end of June 2023, HML has collected almost 4,900kg of plastic wrap thanks to the support of all exhibition organisers and their partners.

    How can exhibitors stand out at trade fairs?

    New products and a well-conceived stand design are not the only drivers for a successful presence. Many other factors are also important, but trade fair planners often lose sight of them.

    How can industry decision-makers be reached online?

    Trade fairs and trade fair companies need to constantly further develop, become more agile and flexible and offer services all year round. New, digital offerings are very important here.
