CEE Students Visit WEEE Park and Wetland Park

On 22 July 2022, Prof. Anthony Chen, Dr Yi Jiang and Dr Barbara Siu led a visit to the WEEE Park and the Wetland Park with a group of 16 CEE students. The WEEE Park is a state-of-the-art Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) treatment and recycling facility located at Tuen Mun. During the visit, students learnt about recovering useful materials from electrical and electronic appliances through various physical processes. The site of Hong Kong Wetland Park was originally intended to be an Ecological Mitigation Area (EMA) to compensate for the wetland lost as a result of the Tin Shui Wai New Town development. The Park showcases the diversity of the Hong Kong's wetland ecosystem and highlights the need to conserve them. Despite the summer heat (37^oC), all participants found the tour fruitful and enjoyable.
