Rooted in Hong Kong and Macao for more than 60 years, Shun Tak Group is committed to building sustainable communities. Through a range of environmental initiatives, the Group encourages colleagues and the wider community to make small changes in their daily lives and put green living into practice. Shun Tak Property Management Limited (“Shun Tak Property Management”), a member of Shun Tak Group, also builds this commitment into daily operations. It continually offers tenants, shoppers, and residents’ convenient ways to reduce waste and recycle, including permanent recycling bins at its malls and annual clothing recycling events, helping make resource circulation part of everyday community life.
To reduce waste at source and promote the recycling of packaging materials, four properties managed by Shun Tak Property Management—Shun Tak Centre, The Westwood, Chatham Gate, and Liberté—took part in “Project Green Moon” from September to October, collecting paper and metal mooncake boxes for proper recycling instead of letting recyclable materials go to waste. Shun Tak Centre supported the initiative for the second consecutive year. Thanks to enthusiastic support from tenants, shoppers, and residents, the four properties collected a total of 458 mooncake boxes weighing about 133 kilograms.
To make participation easy, each property set up a collection point accepting paper and metal mooncake boxes of any brand. Participants were reminded on site to remove inner dividers and packaging materials and keep the boxes clean so the materials could go smoothly into the recycling process. The initiative also partnered with a major food and beverage group to offer dining e-vouchers as rewards for participants. All collected boxes were passed to a qualified recycler for processing, giving the materials a second life and diverting large volumes of recyclable resources from landfills.
The Group firmly believes that waste reduction calls for sustained, long-term effort, not a one-off festive activity, and that ongoing investment in waste reduction and resource circulation will bring lasting environmental change. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to collaborate with all sectors of society to turn green ideas into everyday practice and build a greener, more sustainable future together.
