After the recent super typhoon swept across Hong Kong, several areas suffered from severe flooding and infrastructure damage. Among these, Tai O was one of the areas most affected by flooding.
ALBA IWS is committed to promoting the use of refurbished electrical appliances by restoring usable electrical items and reintegrating them into society to support those in need. Thanks to the dedication and persistence of the refurbishment team, WEEE · PARK has successfully donated over 10,000 refurbished appliances since its establishment. These include refrigerators, air-conditioners, televisions, and washing machines, bringing essential support and hope to countless families.
On 22 March, ALBA IWS hosted “Eco Impact: E-waste and Carbon Reduction” event at WEEE · PARK, welcoming representatives and members from different organizations. Through guided tours, participants gained firsthand insight into the e-waste recycling process and explored how communities can connect with sustainable development.
WEEE · PARK in Hong Kong has reached a major milestone—over 5 million pieces of regulated e-waste have been recycled through the facility. To celebrate this achievement, ALBA IWS hosted “Eco Impact: E-waste and Carbon Reduction” on 21 March, bringing together clients, business partners, and community stakeholders to recognize collective progress.
Recently, ALBA IWS introduced its first 9-ton electric truck (e-truck) to support the government’s push towards new energy vehicles (EV). EV helps improve roadside air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with Hong Kong’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
The e-truck now showcases a fresh design of the Regulated Electrical Equipment family. Additionally, ALBA IWS has transitioned its four business vehicles to electric power, leveraging renewable energy generated by solar panels installed at WEEE·PARK—our dedicated facility for processing Hong Kong’s electronic waste.
We believe small steps will lead to big changes.
ALBA IWS has unveiled a refreshed guided tour experience at WEEE · PARK, Hong Kong’s most advanced facility for recycling Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The newly redesigned Education Centre featuring vibrant visuals, interactive games, and hands-on exhibits that highlight the importance of proper WEEE disposal and material recovery.
We are delighted to announce that ALBA IWS has been honored with two prestigious awards at the UNSDG Achievement Awards 2024 in Hong Kong. These awards, “Goal 12 : Responsible Consumption & Production” and “Outstanding Impact”, recognize our commitment to sustainability and our outstanding achievements in aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
