Hong Kong independent cargo handler Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) has reportedly achieved 100% closed-loop recycled plastic sheets for cargo operations.
Since 2022, Hactl began to adopt recycled plastic sheets composed of 30–50% recycled material, and since then has been driving toward a fully 100% recycled solution.
In collaboration with the Nano and Advanced Materials Institute (NAMI), the two organisations have now developed 100% closed-loop recycled plastic sheets using post-consumer plastic sheet wastes generated by Hactl.
Reportedly, the successful implementation of this project will reduce the use of virgin plastic and hopefully encourage other companies in the industry to follow Hactl’s lead.
The aim is to foster a culture where eco-friendly practices are the norm rather than the exception.
Hactl chief sustainability officer, Amy Lam, said: “Our existing plastic sheets already contained 30-50% recycled material.
“We wanted to accelerate our full transition to the circular economy and bring tangible benefits to industry and society at large, and the new 100% closed-loop recycled plastic sheets enable us to achieve that goal.”
