C&C has got the “Hong Kong - Guangdong Cleaner Production Partners” logo renewal for two years

The presentation ceremony for the Hong Kong-Guangdong Cleaner Production Partners Recognition Scheme marked a success at Asia-World-Expo on 27 October 2011. The Secretary for the Environment, Mr Edward Yau, the Director-General of the Department of Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilisation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Mr Zhou Changyi, and the Vice-Director of Economic and Information Commission of Guangdong Province (GDEIC), Ms Bi Zhijian, joined the ceremony as the officiating guests. About 400 representatives from governments, trades and industries in both Hong Kong and Guangdong were also present. A total of 113 Hong Kong-owned manufacturing enterprises, six sourcing enterprises and 20 environmental technology service providers received the commendation at the ceremony. This was the third batch of enterprises to be commended under the scheme.

HKENB and GDEIC jointly launched the five-year Cleaner Production Partnership Programme in April 2008 to encourage and assist Hong Kong-owned factories in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region in pursuing cleaner production practices. HKENB and GDEIC jointly launched the Hong Kong – Guangdong Cleaner Production Partners Recognition Scheme in August 2009 to give recognition to the efforts of Hong Kong-owned factories and commercial enterprises in pursuing cleaner production. So far, about 1,600 funding applications and estimated 75 millions dollar subsidies have been approved under the Programme. It has effectively incentivised Hong Kong enterprises in adopting cleaner production technologies, and goes a long way in helping to protect the regional environment as well as promote sustainable economic development.

C&C is one of the first batch of 48 enterprises commended as “Hong Kong-Guangdong Cleaner Production Partners (manufacturing)” in 2009. Because of the excellent performances of Aqueous Laminating Machine Project & Induction Cooker Project which reduce VOC 65.888 ton/year and CO2 251.757 ton/year in the Cleaner Production field, C&C pass the on-site audit successfully in Aug 2011. C&C has got the “Hong Kong-Guangdong Cleaner Production Partners” logo renewal with honor for two years.
