HML's "Think Before Plastic" campaign

Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management) Limited (“HML”) is committed to sustainability and strives to push forward a more sustainable event industry. A "Think Before Plastic" campaign was launched on 1 July 2018, with a series of new measures being rolled out to reduce plastic usage at the HKCEC.

 

Pledge

Cut out the usage of over 1,600,000 disposable plastic cultery items

 

Actions taken

  • Replaced plastic disposable cultery with non-plastic alternatives at all HKCEC restaurant outlets and concession stands
  • No plastic straws will be provided, paper straws available upon request
  • No selling of plastic bottled beverages from all vending machines inside HKCEC
  • Free water fountains available at HKCEC
  • Meal discount for contractors who choose to dine-in instead of ordering take away
  • Partnered with Vitasoy to introduce Hong Kong's first distilled water carboy vending machine

 

What's next

Continue to source non-disposable plastic alternatives for other items (e.g. meal boxes and cup lids)
