Sino Group initiated the Tree Recycling / Upcycling Programme in Hong Kong in 2018 to make the most of our natural resources. The Group works with arborists and community partners to recycle and upcycle trees on construction sites and premises under management. Trunks, branches and twigs collected are inspected to select pest- and disease-free timber, then sorted and sent for processing for recycling or upcycling.
Instead of being sent to landfills, wood is chipped and processed into mulch for gardens and landscaped areas or dried for upcycling into objects such as fencing, planters, furniture and artwork in partnership with artists, tenants, residents, customers and staff.
Since the programme’s launch, close to 600 trees have been collected, with 306 cubic metres of mulch and compost produced. We are now expanding the efforts to 30 sites and developments.
