The HKLABRC will solve this problem by recycling all lead acid batteries used in business for backup, transport, and emergency lighting. Conviction can result in up to 6 Month prison term and $200,000 fine.
The CFO of CSC Asia Pacific, Mark Rittmayer states “we do not believe this is immaterial and should be reported in the companies’ Environment, Social & Governance section of the financial statements.”
HKLARBC will solve the current situation of improper disposal by offering an environmentally friendly, “Cradle to Grave” solution in Hong Kong. The HKLABRC is offering pre-opening services.
