MGM and Local Tech Firm Pioneer Playing Card Recycling Solution

MGM continues to integrate sustainability into every part of its daily operations, leading the integrated resort industry toward a greener future. Earlier, the Company signed a partnership agreement with local tech company Fnetlink Technology Company Limited to launch an innovative recycling solution that transforms used playing cards into eco-friendly packaging materials. The solution is expected to recycle approximately 3,000 tons of used playing cards annually, achieving a 100% recycling rate. With this initiative, MGM becomes the first integrated resort in Macau to implement a fully localized recycling system for playing cards, demonstrating its strong commitment to environmental protection.

Technology Innovation Driving Circular Economy

In 2023, MGM and Fnetlink started co-developing the world’s first smart, automated card-shredding solution which was designed to boost operational efficiency while reducing the risk of occupational injuries. MGM and Fnetlink further their collaboration this year by launching Macau’s first local program that recycles used playing cards into high-quality recycled fibers—without using water. These fibers are then turned into eco-friendly packaging products. The new solution not only reduces the amount of solid waste significantly compared to existing methods, but also eliminates carbon emissions associated to the need for cross-border transportation of shredded cards. Moreover, it realizes the concept of a circular economy while extending the lifecycle of materials once considered waste.

Achieving “Green Booth Award” for Three Consecutive Years

MGM has been honored as the Champion of the “Green Booth Award” at the Macao International Environmental Co-operation Forum & Exhibition (MIECF) for three consecutive years. As a proud supporter of the 2025 MIECF, the Company’s booth takes inspiration from the lush greenery of the Spectacle at MGM COTAI, showcasing a vibrant and sustainable landscape. The booth also features the top 10 entries from over 600 teams across China in the “2024 Green, Low-Carbon National Youth Science Popularization Competition”. MGM’s booth setup reflects its vision of building a low-carbon future in partnership with the community. Besides, MGM held a three-day workshop allowing participants to transform recycled plastic bottles into stylish accessories. The Company aims to promote green science education and innovation via various “green” initiatives.
