Henderson Land x Rossana Orlandi: Waste Is Value Exhibition
In July 2021, the Group collaborated with Rossana Orlandi, the international icon of sustainability design, to debut her first exhibition in Asia - Waste Is Value Art & Design Exhibition, at ifc mall in Central.
Rossana Orlandi is one of the 100 key game-changers in the design world, according to the prestigious AD Italia magazine. She curated 45 sustainable art pieces to celebrate the Group’s 45th anniversary. Hong Kong government officials and the Italy Consulate General, sustainability organisations, along with different sectors such as banking, education, art and design, media and influencers joined the exhibition. Created with recycled, reused, and upcycled materials, these eco-friendly designs inspired visitors to reflect on responsible waste behaviour and upcycling. The exhibits were arranged in four themes - “Go Green”, “RoPlastic Prize”, “Iconic Upcycled Artwork” and “Marine Eco-life”, to showcase ways to translate sustainability into daily actions. In recognition of our efforts to conserve the environment, Mr Wong Kam Sing, former Secretary for the Environment, and representatives from the Recycling Fund visited the exhibition.
This collaboration with Rossana Orlandi represented a mutual recognition of our shared values in innovation and sustainability, and also functioned as an educational platform for the community on environmental protection. The Group will continue to innovate to improve lifestyles of the future, while also aiming to safeguard the environment, and will collaborate with international partners to deliver the best products and lifestyle experiences.

Timber is a material commonly used for temporary formwork on construction sites. However, given the limited durability of the timber, it cannot be reused many times and will eventually become waste. In view of this, the Group has developed our own patented DfMA approach to achieve the goal of timberless construction in our projects. This involves prefabricating modular units off-site in factories and replacing on-site timber usage with aluminium formwork. Furthermore, through the implementation of DfMA, we are able to avoid piecemeal tasks and reduce potential hazards involved in traditional construction, significantly improving the productivity and safety of our construction process.
