「与业界携手推动清洁生产」研讨会
Conference on Joint-Efforts with Industries in Cleaner-Production
为推动珠三角区内的港资工厂采用清洁生产技术，环保署在去年十一月联同香港生产力促进局及其他相关者推行「清洁生产技术支援试验项目」。来自不同行业的15所工厂参加了这个试验项目，并在今年十月十六日所举行的「与业界携手推动清洁生产」研讨会上作经验分享。参与的工厂在采取改善措施后，不单提高了能源效益及减少原料消耗及废物，亦能开发质素更佳的产品及制订更具成本效益的工序。有关工厂除了减少开支外，亦取得了环境效益。
环境局局长邱腾华在出席研讨会致开幕辞时表示，「试验项目取得令人鼓舞的成果，得到厂商和业界人士的支持。承接这个项目的成果，我们将于明年初展开一项五年计划，鼓励珠三角地区的港资工厂采用清洁生产技术及工序，进一步改善区域空气质素。」
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." |
