Kwai Chung Incineration Plant () was one of four incineration plants in Hong Kong. The plant was built on a of reclaimed land along Gin Drinkers Bay, Kwai Chung, near Tsing Chau and the Rambler Channel. The plant was opened in 1978 to process solid waste from Hong Kong to reduce the need to put waste into landfills. ==Cessation of operation== In 1989, the Hong Kong Government issued a white paper, ''Pollution in Hong Kong - A Time to Act''. After considering the effects of air pollution on the environment and public health, it was decided to cease using incineration to dispose of solid waste. This decision was later suspended and, as of 2008, the Hong Kong Government is considering constructing new incinerators.〔(Incinerator The Best Option For Hong Kong Rubbish ) - Blog entry by Clear the Air, January 2008〕 In May 1997, the Kwai Chung Incineration Plant ceased to operate, the last of Hong Kong's four plants to do so:〔(FAQ on incineration ) from the webpage of The Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department〕 * Lai Chi Kok Incineration Plant - commissioned 1969 and decommissioned 1991; now part of the expanded container port area * Kennedy Town Incineration Plant - commissioned 1967 and located next to Island West Transfer Station; decommissioned 1993 and now berthing facility * Mui Wo Incineration Plant - commissioned 1987 and decommissioned 1994; now site of Silvermine Bay Outdoor Recreation Camp 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kwai Chung Incineration Plant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
