More recycling facilities have been installed. 7 The figure has been restated to reflect the actual situation in that year. 8 Since in 2022/23, we enhanced our data collection and were able to disclose the data breakdown for hazardous waste collected and recycled. Hazardous waste is collected by licensed waste collectors. 9 The significant increase in hazardous waste collected and recycled in 2023/24 was due to the extensive implementation of waste recycling initiatives in our managed properties. 10 The replacement of old chiller plants in 2023/24 resulted in an increase in the amount of chemicals recycled. 11 The energy generated by the Group was exported to the Government’s Feed-in Tariff Scheme.
