Waste Audit As part of the carbon reduction plan, the VTC conducted a waste audit at five representative premises to analyse waste composition and identify recyclables. Specific measures were developed for each identified recyclable category to boost recycling efforts. These insights help future waste reduction planning, target setting and the expansion of waste management initiatives across all sites. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Charging Trial From 1 April to 31 July 2024, the VTC conducted a pilot run of municipal solid waste (MSW) charging on four participating sites: VTC Tower, IVE (Sha Tin), IVE (Morrison Hill) and VTC Pokfulam Complex. The pilot generated essential data on implementation logistics, user behaviour and cost impacts, enabling the VTC to develop an effective, scalable waste management strategy that supports sustainability goals and ensures operational readiness.
