Recycled Cargo Plastic Sheets

Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) has achieved a first-of-its-kind milestone by introducing 100% closed-loop recycled plastic sheets for cargo operations.

Developed in partnership with the Nano and Advanced Materials Institute, the solution repurposes post-consumer plastic sheet waste generated by Hactl into new, fully recycled sheets. The initiative offers a scalable model for circular material use within the air cargo sector and is now being implemented across operations.

“Our existing plastic sheets already contained 30-50% recycled material, but we wanted to accelerate our full transition to the circular economy and bring tangible benefits to industry and society at large, and the new 100% closed-loop recycled plastic sheets enable us to achieve that goal,” said Amy Lam, Chief Sustainability Officer of Hactl.
