Our Tap Shek Kok cement plant operates under licenses issued from Environmental Protection Department. They cover emission limits at all fugitive dust emission point and the quality of wastewater disposed into the nearby reception zone. We also obtained a waste disposal license as the plant is a final disposal facility of treated Marpol (Marine Pollutant) waste. Monitoring equipment is installed to closely monitor our emission level to ensure that we completely comply with legal requirements. An effective environmental management system is adopted to ensure that our environmental policies are implemented effectively and any environmental problem is being addressed promptly.
