Hong Kong’s only paper-packed beverage box recycling factory “Miaofang Mil Mill” Yuen Long plant has not been renewed by the Science and Technology Park Company. New progress: The Science and Technology Park Company issued a statement last night, saying that when the short-term lease was granted to Mil Mill in 2018, The long-term development plan of the Innovation Park has been clearly communicated to the company, so the two parties have always reached a consensus that the lease agreement will not be renewed after the contract expires. As soon as the statement came out, Mil Mill responded online late at night, saying that they had a meeting with the Science and Technology Park last week, and the two founders had made it clear to each other that when they leased in 2018, they knew that the relevant leased site could be maintained for at least six years. , “Unfortunately, the Science and Technology Park has now completely rejected the claims we made last week.” He also criticized the Science and Technology Park for making its own statement and avoided answering their emails.
According to a statement from the Science Park, Mil Mill’s parent company Confidential Information Processing Co., Ltd. (SSID) needs to look for an operating site in 2017. The Science and Technology Park Company invited SSID to participate in the bidding process and bid for the lease of a single complete plant in Yuen Long Innovation Park at that time, which helped the company to speed up the establishment of recycling business. , and SSID successfully won the bid and was approved for a 3-year short-term lease until the end of 2021. “At the same time, the Science and Technology Park Company has also clearly communicated to SSID the long-term development plan of the Innovation Park and explained the reasons for granting the short-term lease. Therefore, , the two parties have always reached a consensus that the lease will not be renewed after the expiration of the contract.” The Science and Technology Park pointed out that it was six months before the expiration of the lease last year. The “special arrangement” will be renewed for one year until the end of this year for “short-term emergency support”. The Science and Technology Park stated that, knowing that the EPD has provided several sites for SSID to relocate to, the Science and Technology Park will continue to provide support and “give an appropriate period of time as needed.”
Mil Mill retorted on Facebook at around 11 o’clock last night for the Science and Technology Park’s statement at night. Mil Mill pointed out that he didn’t know the Science Park issued a statement until he received a call from a reporter late at night. “The statement was issued at this time, and the Science Park probably didn’t want us to respond.” .
Mil Mill asked, “Why did the Science Park not respond to the email we sent more than 20 hours ago and instead issued a statement directly to the media?” They responded briefly to the content of the statement: “During the meeting with the Science Park last week, the two founders had already made a statement. Make it clear to the other party that when you leased in 2018, you knew that the relevant leased site could maintain operation for at least six years. Regrettably, the Science and Technology Park has now completely rejected the statement we made last week. More importantly, the Science and Technology Park has not yet A positive response to the three questions we raised.”
Mil Mill later disclosed the details of the “three major issues”:
1 – Will a grace period of 2 to 3 years be given to extend the recycling in Hong Kong and facilitate the relocation of Mil Mill? If not, will Greenland stop recycling cartons, or send drink cartons to landfills?
2 – Can you mediate with the Environmental Protection Department to help Mil Mill enter the EcoPark? If not, why is the Environmental Protection Department only able to provide land outside the “EcoPark”?
3 – Will Yuen Long Innovation Park no longer recruit companies focusing on “environmental recycling”?
