Environmental Achievements 2008 |
||||||
CPCS has improved the environmentally friendly practices and facilities in the premises on an ongoing basis; this section provides the highlights of the major efforts that CPCS has put to conserve the environment in 2008. Environmental Best Practice CompetitionThe Airport Authority launched the Environmental Best Practice Competition with the Tung Chung Community in 2007, with the aim to raise environmental awareness and promote wastage reduction practices among organizations within the airport area. CPCS was the second runner-up in the Non-Terminal Based Organisations Category and the presentation ceremony was held on 25 January 2008. Water saving device Collection of Polypropylene Plastic Glass from inbound flights Recycling Cooking Oil CollectionRecycling oil is collected by a licensed contractor, which will transform the cooking oil into Bio-diesel. This practice started in May 2008 and CPCS has been receiving rebate on a monthly basis. Refrigerant water heater Environmental Awareness WeekThe environmental awareness week was held in August 2008. The main theme is to promote a better environment by reducing the use of plastic bag. To raise this awareness, a competition of recycling bag logo design was held and a number of staff participated in this event. The winning logo may be printed on S & R Tee-shirts or company’s recycling bag. Clean Air Charter – Commitment of CPCS1. Operate by a recognised world class standard on emission of air pollutants, even if it is not required to do so here. 2. Use continuous emission monitors (CEMs) at significant sources. 3. Publish information on energy and fuel use, as well as total emissions of air pollutants annually and timely, if emissions are significant. 4. Undertake to adopt energy-efficient measures in their operations.
5. Identify and encourage business measures to be taken on days when air pollution is high. 6. Share air quality of business with others. |

Environmental Plan for 2009 |
||||||
| 1. Air quality
CPCS will continue to commit to the Clear Air Charter by actions such as: *Purchase high-loaders equipped with Euro 4 or latest compliant engines *Conduct cleaning to the entire air ventilation system in the company on a regular basis and assess the air quality of office according to the IAQ requirements on a yearly basis 2. Replacement of lightings Engineering will trial LED lights in cold holds and evaluate the feasibility of replacing existing lights with LED in all cold rooms and freezers. There should be a saving on energy consumption. Evaluation will be done to verify if these LED lights can withstand such cold temperature. In addition, car park spotlights will be changed to LED lights. 3. Use of waste steam to re-heat water for warewash machines Engineering will conduct trial on capturing residual steam from warewash machines, which is currently extracted and released into the environment. Instead of releasing the steam, it will be used to reheat the water fed to the warewash machines. This will reduce fuel consumption by the boiler. 4. Reduction in the use of diesel by fleet A Japanese product called “Fire Ball” which claimed to reduce fuel consumption of fleets by 10% was put on trial since mid November 2007 for 3 months. Cost saving was noted in hi-loaders, less diesel was used. However, smaller vehicles did not show further energy saving. Hence, adjustment of device was made and is currently on trial for small vehicles. The results of the trial will be evaluated and the use of the device will be considered in the coming year upon the outcome of the trial. 5. Cold Room Condenser Engineering shall study the cold room condenser that is currently an air cool type and it is possibly less efficient than water cool type. Hence, cold room condenser may be changed to a water cool type for energy saving purpose. Engineering shall study the cost and benefit of this exercise. 6. End Trims Collection QA and Production is evaluating the feasibility of having end trims of raw meat, vegetables and fruit skins collected by a local environmental recycler who will further process the food waste and donate it to pig farms. As this will introduce a waste handling charge to CPCS, cost and benefit of this activity will be carried out.
