HKUST Annual Report 2023-2024

51 HKUST Annual Report 2023-2024 Responsible Consumer Activism Setting the Pace on Engagement A “Driving Circularity in Clothing” education campaign on clothing waste saw students tasked to collect, sort, and redistribute used clothing on member campuses. Collaboration with the NGOs, Redress and JupYeah, brought industry insights and experience-sharing in propelling clothing circularity forward. Over 1,000kg of used clothing was collected for redistribution. Inspiring Livability in the Community The HKUST Life Cycle Lab, a collaborative venture involving academics and community practitioners, continued to extend its reach over 2023-24. In academia- community partnerships, the Lab provided a report for Greenpeace Hong Kong on their reusable cup systems, hosted a Life Cycle assessment course with the Business Environment Council for attendees from diverse industries; and co-developed the board game, Milk Co: The Life Cycle Challenge, together with Hong Kong game and product design studio Blackbody Lab. The game helps players identify opportunities for reducing environmental impact through the product life cycle.
