Government & Utilities Intelligent Supply Chain

Handling of chemical and clinical waste in Hong Kong is subject to strict legal controls. A paper-form trip ticket system was adopted by the EPD to monitor the consignment of waste from waste producer, via licensed collector, to final disposal site for proper treatment
To increase enforcement efficiency, improve data accuracy and save manpower, the EPD decided to digitalize the tracking process and introduce an electronic trip ticket system
Tradelink was awarded a contract in May 2020 for the "Provision of Service for an Enhanced Tracking of Chemical Waste and Clinical Waste Consignment"

Data in the paper-form trip ticket submitted by the three parties were required to be inputted into the EPD's waste tracking system on a regular basis
Due to the time needed for manual data entry and typographical errors, the paper-form practice could lead to late, missed or false prosecution of improper handling of chemical and clinical waste cases

Built on our Transportation Management System, the Waste Consignment Management System developed and provided by Tradelink digitalizes the EPD's paper-based trip ticket system and provides real time trip ticket data capturing through a web-based system with the use of smartphone application and smart cards
Allows data exchange with the EPD's computer system which enables the EPD officers to have a real time overview of waste tracking and monitoring with easy access
Provides continuous operational support to over 40,000 users of the system including waste producers, collectors and disposal sites
