「與業界攜手推動清潔生產」研討會
Conference on Joint-Efforts with Industries in Cleaner-Production
為推動珠三角區內的港資工廠採用清潔生產技術，環保署在去年十一月聯同香港生產力促進局及其他相關者推行「清潔生產技術支援試驗項目」。來自不同行業的15所工廠參加了這個試驗項目，並在今年十月十六日所舉行的「與業界攜手推動清潔生產」研討會上作經驗分享。參與的工廠在採取改善措施後，不單提高了能源效益及減少原料消耗及廢物，亦能開發質素更佳的產品及制訂更具成本效益的工序。有關工廠除了減少開支外，亦取得了環境效益。
環境局局長邱騰華在出席研討會致開幕辭時表示，「試驗項目取得令人鼓舞的成果，得到廠商和業界人士的支持。承接這個項目的成果，我們將於明年初展開一項五年計劃，鼓勵珠三角地區的港資工廠採用清潔生產技術及工序，進一步改善區域空氣質素。」
To promote adoption of cleaner production by Hong Kong-owned factories in the Pearl River Delta region, a Cleaner Production Technical Support Pilot Project was launched by the EPD in collaboration with Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) and other stakeholders last November. Fifteen factories from different industries had participated in the pilot. They shared their experience with fellow enterprises at the Conference on Joint-Efforts with Industries in Cleaner-Production held on 16 October. After adopting improvement measures, participating factories witnessed enhanced energy efficiency, reduction in raw materials consumption and waste, development of better products and more cost-effective processes. The concerned factories managed not only to reduce their production costs but also achieve environment benefits.
Secretary for the Environment, Mr Edward Yau officiating at the Conference said, "the pilot project produced encouraging results. It gained the support of the factory owners, representatives of the industry and trades. To build on the success, we will launch a five-year programme early next year to encourage Hong Kong-owned factories in the Pearl River Delta Region to adopt cleaner production technologies and practices to further improve the regional air quality." |
