Hong Kong, 20 October 2014 ————– Hong Kong’s leading English language newspaper, South China Morning Post (SCMP), featured a prototypical multi-story recycling center conceived by founder and Managing Director of Sepia Design Consultants Limited, Thomas Schmidt, AIA, LEED AP.
The front page article described Schmidt’s vision for a series of neighborhood-level mixed-use complexes that could serve as focal points for the collection and handling of waste throughout the city, in an effort to divert as much material as possible away from the landfills. The concept was submitted to the HKSAR Government in February 2014; the SCMP noted today that “an Environmental Bureau spokesman said that the bureau had received Schmidt’s proposal and was considering it.”
