Approximately 10,300 sq. ft. of Metl-Span CF Striated Insulated Wall Panels were used on the administration building at the innovative Eco Park project in Hong Kong. The building is a model for green building measures and has achieved the highest Platinum rating under the Hong Kong Building Environmental Assessment Method (HK-BEAM.) The first-of-its-kind in Hong Kong, the Eco Park is an industrial park exclusively for waste recycling and environmental engineering. The mission of the facility is to promote the local recycling industry and to stimulate a circular economy to provide a sustainable solution to the city’s waste problems. By encouraging recycling of waste resources and returning them to the consumption loop, the Eco Park will alleviate the heavy reliance on the export of recyclable materials recovered from Hong Kong. The architect for the project was Aedas Ltd. and the general contractor was Kaden Construction Limited. Both firms are located in Hong Kong. For more information, visit www.metlspan.com.
