- CBME third-year students Jeromy Chun Yuen CHAN, Ho San MAK, Lawrence Kai Qi YAN and Karen Pik Shuen HUNG won the Gold Award of the "Shape our Sustainable Campus" organized by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. The team beat out 13 teams and 40 participants to win this prestigious award with an innovative system to recycle food. The system, based on a patent from Productivity Council, converts food waste into fertilizer, which is used for roof-top farming and organic gardens. Food grown will then be sold to students and funds raised will maintain the sustainability of the project. As food waste accounts for 40% of municipal waste and treatment of food waste can be difficult, the team took this opportunity to make a positive difference to HKUST's sustainability initiatives.
