Veolia Environmental Services (VES) via Ecospace Limited – its wholly-owned subsidiary, has been successfully awarded the contract for the operations and maintenance of the hazardous waste treatment facility in Hong Kong for another 10 years starting December 1, 2009.

This contract emphasizes Veolia Environmental Services' positioning with regards to Hong Kong's community, as playing a major role on the waste management and resource recovery market.

In addition to operations and maintenance of the facility, the contract includes the upgrade works to modify the flue gas treatment system to meet the more stringent stack gas emission standards of the European Union and the incinerator to treat medical waste in addition to hazardous waste.

The facility commenced operation in April 1993 by a joint venture with VES as the majority shareholder.
