China: Hong Kong’s Environmental Protection Department (EPD) has welcomed the news that the concrete batching plant at 6 Tung Yuen Street, Yau Tong, will cease operations from the middle of June 2026, bringing concrete production in the area to a close. This according to the EPD, is of significant importance to improving the air quality of the district.
An EPD spokesperson said that the plant's specified process licence had expired on 23 August 2025, but that it had originally submitted a licence renewal application, enabling it to remain in operation until the new licence is refused. The plant has been winding down production, having liaised closely with the EPD in anticipation of the new licence being refused.
