An eco-industrial park (EIP) is an industrial park in which businesses cooperate with each other and with the local community in an attempt to reduce waste and pollution, efficiently share resources (such as information, materials, water, energy, infrastructure, and natural resources), and help achieve sustainable development, with the intention of increasing economic gains and improving environmental quality.
An EIP may also be planned,
designed, and built in such a way that it makes it easier for businesses to co-operate, and that results in a more financially sound, environmentally friendly project for the developer. Situated in Lung Mun Road, Tuen Mun, with a site area of 200,000m2, EcoPark is developed in two phases and provides a rentable area of 140,000m2 long term land at affordable costs for the recycling industry. Currently, only a portion of waste is recycled and recovered into useful products locally. Thus, a robust recycling industry is needed locally to handle the increasing demand of recycling and recovery. The development of the EcoPark is one of the Government’s initiatives to help promoting the local recycling industry. In operation since 2007, EcoPark provides long- term land at affordable costs and a whole package of amenities for use by the recycling industry with a view to alleviating the expenditure of recyclers on infrastructure, thereby encouraging their investment in advanced technologies and value-added recycling processes. EcoPark endeavors to promote the recycling of waste into resources, and by returning recyclable materials to the production line and the consumption loop, it aims to promote the development of the circular economy. What are the advantages of developing EcoPark? EcoPark supports local recycling by:
1. offering long-term land with basic infrastructure at affordable cost
and exclusive use of facilities such as marine frontage and weighbridge; 2. providing professional management services; 3. creating synergy among clusters of similar industries; 4. integrating vertically to create a "circular economy"; 5. providing more job opportunities for recycling and related industries.
