SIBUR attends Geneva roundtable, discusses projects to reduce plastic pollution


GENEVA, RUSSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 March 2024 – Representatives of SIBUR, Russia’s largest producer of polymers and rubbers, attended the Ecumene roundtable in Geneva where they discussed the company’s advanced initiatives in the circular economy and the mitigation of its climate impact.

The discussion took place in advance of an upcoming United Nations discussion on a legally binding global agreement to combat plastic pollution, including in the marine environment, scheduled for April 2024 in Ottawa, Canada.

Maxim Remchukov, SIBUR’s Director for Sustainable Development, called polymer waste recycling an important part of the company’s sustainability strategy. Under its Vivilen brand, SIBUR produces a range of polymers containing recycled plastic for various applications: food (rPET), non-food (rPO) and home decor (rPS). This initiative helps keep around 1.7 billion plastic bottls per year out of landfills. SIBUR also recycles polystyrene packaging and canisters made of low-density polyethylene.

SIBUR is implementing a number of plastic collection and recycling projects in collaboration with various partners in its regions of operations. The company supports plastic waste collection at marathons as well as football and basketball matches, and it even produces eco-friendly basketballs from recycled plastic.

The Russian government is also concerned about the environment and last year mandated that plastic-packaging manufacturers either recycle their packaging or pay a special environmental fee. Discussions are also under way regarding a ban on certain types of plastic packaging.

Remchukov noted that opportunities for recycling mechanical plastic waste were limited, depending on the quality of the material and how clean it is, whereas chemical recycling (thermolysis) has enormous potential, he said. This process converts complex and difficult-to-recycle packaging waste into hydrocarbon raw materials, which are then used to produce primary polymers. SIBUR is considering launching a pilot thermolysis plant.

The company is also a leader when it comes to the climate agenda. According to the Russian Carbon Unit Registry, SIBUR has one of the largest portfolios of climate projects among the Russian companies. SIBUR’s climate projects are set to reduce CO2 emissions by over 6 million tons by the end of 2032. The company plans to sell the carbon units obtained through their implementation in Russian and international markets.

Polymer waste recycling also reduces greenhouse gas emissions by decreasing the volume of waste sent to landfills and the amount of primary raw materials used for production, which are replaced in part by recycled materials.

United Court Transitional Housing Project Receives “DFA Design for Asia Awards – Gold Award” Setting a Global Example for Holistic Care in Addressing Social Issues

Setting a Global Example for Holistic Care in Addressing Social Issues


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 March 2024 – Housing challenges are prevalent in cities worldwide, and governments across the globe are actively striving to address their own housing issues. In Hong Kong, over 200,000 individuals currently reside in inadequate housing conditions. The United Court transitional housing project has emerged as a beacon of hope and social innovation.

https://youtu.be/qdc2UwDTS64

Subsidised by the Government, United Court is a groundbreaking tripartite initiative led by non-governmental organisation Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council (the Welfare Council), in collaboration with the leading property developer Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) and the Government. This unique partnership aims to provide affordable, people-oriented housing solutions that transcend traditional notions of accommodation.

“The Housing Bureau has initiated and provided funding for a new community-based policy to drive a social movement leveraging partnership across different sectors to better utilise available temporary land resources and temporary vacant premises to relieve the pressure on those with urgent housing needs,” stated Winnie Ho, Secretary for Housing, HKSAR Government.

United Court was the first fully completed large-scale transitional housing project in Hong Kong. It offers a comprehensive range of programmes, activities, and community engagement opportunities to rebuild residents’ confidence, bolster their resilience, facilitate their reintegration into society, and empower them to regain control over their lives. Leveraging innovative Modular Integrated Construction (MIC) technology, it managed to construct 1,800 flats in just 10 months, effectively addressing the urgent needs of 5,000 residents.

Adam Kwok, Executive Director of SHKP said: “The location of United Court is very convenient. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk to the closest MTR station, and there are plenty of community facilities around, including schools, markets, and playgrounds.” He said seeing over a thousand families enjoying their new homes make their efforts truly rewarding. In addition to providing the site for free, SHKP undertook site clearance and formation, schematic design and planning submissions, as well as offering advice on construction and property management.

The recent recognition of United Court with the prestigious Gold Award for Service and Experience Design at the DFA Design for Asia Awards, presented by the esteemed Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC), further highlights its global acclaim. Prof Eric Yim, Chairman of the HKDC, praising the project, stating, “What impressed us even more was its sustainable, human-centric design that elevates user experiences. It demonstrates how good design, when combined with care and consideration for those in need, has the power to achieve a greater impact beyond short-term shelter.”

“We are thrilled to receive the internationally renowned DFA Design for Asia Awards – Gold Award because it is a great encouragement to us. We are happy to have a chance to tell good stories for Hong Kong,” said Mrs Patricia Lau, CEO of the Welfare Council.

Subsidised by the Government, Hong Kong has achieved an extraordinary feat with its transitional housing movement, leading and pioneering a new global standard for social impact and innovation. The Government has identified land for providing over 21 000 transitional housing units, exceeding the original target of 20 000 units. This success is the result of broad societal participation, with NGOs and social enterprises as well as property developers and the construction industry, collaborating closely with the government to make a difference. With this movement, Hong Kong demonstrates that it is a thought leader in harnessing cross-sector resources and expertise to innovatively tackle its social housing challenges.
