  Vehicle Emissions

At EMSD, we provide service maintenance for the Government¡¦s 6,200 fleet of vehicles; we play a significant role in ensuring that emissions from the Government fleet are reduced to a minimum. The number of the diesel vehicles in the Government fleet has decreased from 2,218 in 1999 to 1,578 in 2001.

  Waste Collection, Disposal & Recycling

Over the years, EMSD has handled and disposed a considerable amount of industrial and chemical waste in an environmentally responsible manner.  Collected items are carefully stored and transported before being disposed of in accordance with regulatory requirements.

At the same time, we also take a proactive approach to prevent excessive use of these substances to ensure the generation of such waste is kept to a minimum.

   Use of Recycled Paper

EMSD conducted a study on new and recycled paper to identify their implications to our daily operations. Starting from late 2001, EMSD began the wide-spread use of environment-friendly recycled office printing papers made from recycled fibre sources.
