Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals (Hactl), the largest independent handler in the region, has initiated a zero-waste uniform upcycling project that transformed old staff uniforms into 5,000 upcycled cups. This project is a first for Hong Kong’s aviation industry, aiming to recycle durable, waterproof blended fibers that are usually hard to process. Hactl’s Chief Executive, Wilson Kwong, emphasized the importance of addressing the environmental impact of old uniforms and promoting a circular economy. The initiative aligns with Hactl’s broader goal of achieving a 75% waste recycling rate by 2030.
