Ms. Fiona Sykes is an Associate at Arup Hong Kong and is the Arup East Asia Resource and Waste Management Skills Leader. Having started her career in infrastructure projects (rail, airports, cities) and multidisciplinary project management, a growing personal interest in sustainability (and lucky timing) led her to pivot to specialise in Resource and Waste Management. She has since worked on strategy, planning and infrastructure projects with a focus on waste reduction and circular economy in Hong Kong, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Her areas of experience include collection methods, hospital waste, construction and demolition waste, recycling, resource recovery facilities, refuse transfer stations, waste to energy facilities, anaerobic digestion, and landfills.
