Educating manufacturers on the benefits of using sustainable materials
At the invitation of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), Michael Chan, Director of Business Development, Toys and Hardlines at Intertek Hong Kong, spoke at the Hong Kong International Optical Fair about measurements to source sustainable materials for optical products.
Co-organized by HKTDC and Hong Kong Optical Manufacturers Association, who sell products ranging from binoculars, contact lenses and reading glasses, to sporting and professional eyewear, the 3-day fair has received more than 800 exhibitors at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.
Michael’s presentation showed manufacturers how they can benefit by reducing the use of non-recyclable plastics and materials throughout their supply-chain and manufacturing processes with Intertek’s Total Sustainability Assurance (TSA) solutions.
Says Michael: “It becomes increasingly important to find new ways to help our customers to further minimise their environmental impact, but we remain determined to improve their performance through new and innovative measures. We strive to help them understand that there can be many factors contributing to their success in reducing waste.”
Michael speaks about sourcing sustainable materials and shares with the floor the business benefits it can bring to them.
