On 15 January 2021, Chun Yang International (HK) Company Limited was awarded a waste disposal licence (Chemical Waste – Waste Printed Circuit Edition) issued by the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department, which allows the Group to handle 9.7 tonnes of chemical waste per day.

The Waste Disposal Ordinance, Cap. 354 (the Ordinance) and its subsidiary Waste Disposal (Chemical Waste)(General) Regulation (the Regulation) provide a legislative framework for a chemical waste control scheme. Chemical wastes are liquid, semi-solid and solid wastes which are hazardous in nature or constitute a risk of pollution to the environment. Indiscriminate disposal of chemical waste has very serious health, safety and environmental consequences. Release into coastal waters causes damage to local marine life and accumulation of toxins in sea-food generally creates a serious health hazard to the community. Uncontrolled disposal at municipal waste facilities and into sewerage systems and sewage treatment facilities threatens the health and safety of the operatives. It also results in costly repairs and replacement of these facilities as well as disruption to their operation.
