Cathay Cargo Terminal says it has become the first cargo terminal in Hong Kong to adopt 50% recycled plastic cargo cover sheets for all export shipments built up in its facility. It has increased recycled content from 30%. Material has been lab-tested and in rigorous real-world trials. The new sheets use 50% recycled post-consumer plastic, reducing the reliance on virgin plastic.
Cathay Cargo Terminal became the first facility in Hong Kong to sign up to the IATA Environmental Assessment (IEnvA) programme in October 2023, which provides globally recognised environmental and sustainability standards for the aviation industry.
