Government Efforts

To protect the environment, the Government introduces measures to promote low carbon construction, carbon reduction and the use of recycled materials in public works projects.

The Government has already widely used reclaimed asphalt pavement, recycled fill materials, recycled sub-base materials, paving blocks containing waste glass, energy saving installations and renewable energy technologies in public works projects. The Government also implements the following measures:

using electric vehicles in works projects;

mandating the full use of biodiesel by non-road construction machinery in all newly tendered public works projects and public housing projects;

promoting the adoption of green site offices; and

conducting trials on the use of waste glass as engineering fill materials in site formation, backfilling and reclamation projects.
