 A joint venture between Sita and Swire-Pacific.

Sales during 2000 were 135.7 million, of which Sita’s contribution was 71.2 million, providing 2% of the Group’s turnover.

It operates two of Hong Kong’s largest landfills:WENT and NENT.

The NENT landfill is located on the Chinese border, to the very north of the New Territories, opposite the new town of Shenzhen.

Swire-SITA was chosen by the Authorities to build and operate the Hong Kong’s 8th transfer station. Waste is to be containerized in this new centre and taken by road to the Went landfill. The site is to be built between February 2000 and August 2001 and will cost 26.4 million euros. 400 000 tonnes of waste will be treated annually for annual revenues of 12.2 million euros.

Following a call for tenders by the Hong Kong government, SWIRE – SITA won the contract to rehabilitate 4 landfills in the north-west of the New Territories.
