Good Natural Environment Advances Low Carbon Recycling Efforts with SGS S-Carbon Comprehensive Digital Carbon Management Platform

We are pleased to announce that Good Natural Environment Co. Ltd has adopted the SGS S-Carbon comprehensive digital carbon management platform. 

Low-carbon management plays a pivotal role in helping organizations control costs and achieve sustainable development. Through the SGS S-Carbon comprehensive digital carbon management platform, organizations can significantly enhance the efficiency of their carbon management practices, further advancing the implementation of corporate social responsibility. Good Nature Environmental has taken the lead in its used clothing recycling industry by adopting the S-Carbon, demonstrating its strong commitment to environmental protection and sustainability.

Why are carbon footprint services vital in the recycling of used clothing?

Used clothes recycling is significant for reducing textile waste and conserving resources. However, the processes of collecting, transporting, sorting, and processing recycled clothing generate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Therefore, targeted actions must be taken to address these challenges and ensure an overall reduction in carbon emissions. To support a low-carbon future, the S-Carbon platform provides digital tools to help measure carbon emissions in the recycling process, further promoting the development of the used clothes recycling industry.

• Promote a circular economy: utilize advanced recycling methods to transform used clothes waste into valuable resources, minimizing emissions from production and disposal
• Encourage public participation: raise awareness about the importance of resource conservation and inspire active engagement in eco-friendly practices, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of used clothes waste
• Give back to society: convert recycled used clothes into resources that benefit communities in meaningful ways, further reducing emissions by extending material lifecycles

Utilizing SGS S-Carbon’s platform, Good Natural Environment is able to:

• Measure environmental impact: track the carbon emissions produced at each stage of the used clothes recycling process
• Identify areas for improvement: pinpoint high-emission activities and develop targeted strategies to minimize their environmental impact
• Enhance transparency and build a responsible supply chain: S-Carbon provides quantifiable data that corporate can use to demonstrate the effectiveness and sustainability of its recycling operations to stakeholders
• Align with global climate goals: support international efforts to reduce carbon emissions, such as the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on climate change

Sky Ha, Chief Operating Officer of Good Natural Environment, said, “Our clothes recycling fleet operates across Hong Kong. Since adopting the S-Carbon, we’ve been able to directly calculate the fuel-related carbon emissions generated by fleet operation. This has enabled us to better monitor carbon data and further advance our environmental responsibility efforts.”

Billy Lai, Deputy Director of Business Assurance for SGS in Hong Kong, said, “Good Natural Environment takes a proactive approach that not only reduces textile waste but also minimizes its impact on climate change. By adopting innovative carbon reduction strategies - thereby optimizing production processes and implementing recycling practices - the company contributes to a circular economy, ensuring a positive environmental impact for future generations.”
