【Waste Reduction Takes Flight✈️】 Welcome onboard📢 Cathay Pacific which is cutting its use of single-use plastics in its cabins. And when it comes to in-flight dining in economy class, there are four big changes: paper cups instead of plastic, reusable container lids, metal cutlery, and even trays are recycled into new ones. Plastic bottles on board Cathay’s flights inbound to Hong Kong are collected and sent for recycling as well. Sometimes, innovative recycling completely reinvent items in ways we never expected, leaving us truly amazed. Who can imagine plastics can be transformed into soft blankets? In fact, these recycled plastic bottles can be made into many different types of products. Let us take you on a tour at New Life Plastics Ltd (a joint venture Swire Coca-Cola takes part in) and see how plastic bottles are reborn! Swire Coca-Cola HK #Swire #sustainability #WasteManagement

Swire has a long history of supporting education in Hong Kong. Since the launch of Swire Scholarships in 1925, over a thousand exceptional individuals have benefitted from them.   Last night at the Swire Scholars reunion event, it was wonderful to see so many past and present recipients from different generations come together to reconnect and catch up on each other’s journeys, inspiring younger students to strive for a brighter future. Attendees also enjoyed a tour of the Swire Archive Centre, where they examined precious artefacts that document the evolution of Swire Scholarships.   Looking ahead, we hope to build closer connections within the Swire Scholar community by bringing together individuals who can share their experiences, which will support the growth and development of more young minds.   Watch some of our Swire Scholars’ inspiring stories: Dr. Jonathan Cybulski: https://lnkd.in/g2nEqfHx Dr Nick So: https://lnkd.in/gks8BEuu John Huen: https://lnkd.in/gHaGPZw7 太古基金 Swire Trust   #Swire #SwireScholarships #SwireScholars #Reunion #Community #Education

During a recent Open Day at Xiamen University, HAECO Xiamen, as part of the Swire Group, took part in a donation ceremony with the Xiamen University Education Development Foundation to mark Swire’s commitment to donating RMB 5.46 million over the next three years. This donation will enable the Dongshan Swire Marine Station to conduct long-term marine monitoring and scientific research, and organise marine education and scientific activities. It will also facilitate the creation of a marine conservation alliance aimed at raising public awareness of marine protection.   The collaboration between Swire and Xiamen University began in 2011 with a donation of RMB 5.6 million for the construction of the Dongshan Swire Marine Station. The project was completed in 2017 and has made a significant impact on advancing marine science studies and enhancing marine conservation. During the Open Day, more than 70 interactive booths provided information about marine science to the public. Swire and its operating companies shared their environmental protection practices and charity projects at their respective booths, demonstrating Swire’s commitment to environmental protection and helping the public understand more about marine protection. 太古基金 Swire Trust HAECO #Swire #SwireThrive #SwireTrust #marineconvservation #HAECO #Xiamen
