Hong Kong, 20 October 2014<\/strong> ————– Hong Kong’s leading English language newspaper, South China Morning Post<\/em> (SCMP), featured a prototypical multi-story recycling center conceived by founder and Managing Director of Sepia Design Consultants Limited<\/em>, Thomas Schmidt, AIA, LEED AP. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
