Bridging staff with upcycling concepts and principles

On 23 September 2019, our Green Officers visited the St James’ Settlement Jockey Club Upcycling Centre and picked up different upcycling ideas and how to associate them with sustainability lifestyles.

The Centre aims at promoting environmental protection and eco-lifestyle by creating upcycling products through encouraging corporations and organizations to donate used or leftover materials. Local designers are part of its team who use these so-called ‘waste’ for new product designs and involve people with disabilities in the making of upcycled products.

The visit offered the Green Officers an impressive lesson on upcycling ideas by local designers and insights on waste reduction. By participating in a workshop with hands-on experience in making their customized cardholders, they were reminded of the importance of waste reduction at source.
