 浸大綠購攻略浸大於「香港綠色企業大獎2010」中，贏得「明智環保採購獎（企業）」金獎，成為首所獲得該獎的大專院校。財務處助理處長林炳華表示，原本只以嘗試心態報名參加遴選，有幸獲得金獎感到非常鼓舞，是次獲獎亦有助鼓勵更多教職員、學生，甚至其他大學使用更多環保產品。浸大早於二千年已開始推動綠色採購，至零八年更制定了「綠色採購政策」，成為首所加入「香港環保採購約章」並成為「資深會員」的大專院校。林炳華說：「環保是全球的潮流，國際採購與供應管理聯盟兩年前於拉斯維加斯的會議中，亦確定了推動綠色採購的路向，浸大是具前瞻性地走正確的路。」 「大學現時共使用三十五種環保產品，包括百分百再造紙、文具、清潔用品、電器等，未來一年將嘗試引入生化柴油、環保車等十項環保產品，而大學會堂觀眾席的燈光亦將全面轉用發光二極管，成為全港首個轉用發光二極管的會堂及演講廳。」林炳華表示，雖然環保產品的成本較高，但浸大仍樂意支持，令浸大於綠色採購方面能夠領先其他大專院校，同時亦彰顯浸大在推動低碳校園的領導地位。 林炳華亦指，以往因部分產品發展未成熟，故一直處於摸索階段。「例如最初再造紙技術欠佳，不適合用作打印及影印，故浸大當時只採用百分之八十成分的再造紙，至近年技術成熟，才全面改用百分百再造紙。」能按實際情況調整使用環保產品的策略，加上教職員、學生上下一心，正是浸大推動綠色採購的成功關鍵。 除了使用環保產品外，浸大亦將環保元素列入挑選供應商的要求，例如學生餐廳接受投標時，就會考慮該餐廳是否能供應可生物降解飯盒，以進一步推廣校內的低碳文化。 Green Purchasing SuccessAccording to Mr. Timothy Lam, Assistant Director of Finance, the University has won a Gold Prize in the Green Purchaswi$e Award (Corporation) category of the Hong Kong Green Awards 2010, the only tertiary institution to receive a prize in the Awards. Mr. Lam said that receiving the award was both surprising and encouraging and he believes that this recognition will encourage more staff, students and even other universities to opt for green products more often.HKBU was the first university in Hong Kong to join the Hong Kong Green Purchasing Charter as a Fellow Member. The University began green purchasing in 2000 and adopted a Green Purchasing Policy in 2008. Mr. Lam noted that “environmental protection is a global trend. The International Federation of Purchasing and Supply Management endorsed the adoption of green purchasing two years ago in Las Vegas. We are looking to the future and are committed to staying on the right track.” He added: “HKBU currently purchases 35 categories of environmentally-friendly products. These include 100 per cent recycled paper, stationery, cleaning products and electrical appliances. This year, the University will introduce 10 more categories of products such as biological diesel and green vehicles. The lighting above the audience in the Academic Community Hall has also been changed to LEDs. It is the first hall or lecture theatre in Hong Kong to use LED lighting.” Lam added that the University fully supports the use of green products, despite their higher cost, making it a pioneer in green purchasing and ensuring its leading position, among local universities, in promoting low-carbon initiatives on campus. The Assistant Director of Finance also noted that the University initially went through a great deal of trial and error due to the often poor quality of past green products. “For instance,” he stated, “in the early years, recycled paper was not suitable for printing and copying. We could only use 80 per cent recycled paper. It was only recently, when the quality improved, that we decided to change to 100 per cent recycled paper”. Indeed, it is the University’s gradual adoption of green products according to its needs, as well as the strong support of staff and students, that has made HKBU’s efforts in green purchasing so successful. HKBU also chooses environmentally-friendly suppliers. For example, caterers bidding for the student restaurant tender are required to state whether they can provide biodegradable containers. Policies such as these help to strengthen a low carbon culture on campus |
塑膠廢物何處去？為配合打造低碳校園的目標，浸會大學最近參與了「仁愛堂環保園塑膠資源再生伙伴計劃」，以擴闊大學塑膠回收至所有塑膠產品。一般較小型的塑膠廢物如文具、膠樽和膠袋等可放置於現時各樓層的回收箱，至於較大型的塑膠廢物，例如傢俬和橫額等便可放置於下列的回收桶：
Where does the plastic waste go?To foster a low carbon campus, HKBU has recently joined the “Yan Oi Tong EcoPark Plastic Resources Recycling Scheme” with the aim of including all plastic waste in campus recycling. Some small size plastic waste such as stationery, plastic bottles and plastic bags can be placed in waste recycling stations on each floor. Plastic waste in larger sizes, such as furniture and banners, can be deposited in recycling bins at the following locations:
