Energy Management and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Energy Management

In response to the global trend of energy conservation and carbon reduction, we are committed to enhancing energy management efficiency. We continuously promote energy-saving measures, including improving energy efficiency and introducing advanced energy-saving equipment. We aim to reduce energy intensity by 1% annually, ensuring effective reduction in energy consumption and carbon emissions from production. This commitment underscores our dedication to sustainable development within the industry.

  1. Increased energy efficiency：promote energy/electricity reduction projects in 2023 to lower energy consumption.
  2. Shift toward lower emissions：plan to increase the solar energy system.
  3. Use of recycling：reduce energy-generated waste by reusing and recovering heat energy.
  4. Internal and external cooperation：promote carbon reduction plans with the government, NGO, academic institutions, and professional institutions.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory

In 2021, we initiated a greenhouse gas inventory and obtained an SGS verification statement. The inventory scope includes upstream raw material procurement, upstream raw material transport, downstream product transport, employee commuting, business travel, and waste disposal. In 2023, we expanded the inventory scope to include beverage operations and set 2023 as the baseline year.

  • In-house on-site blow molding strategy for GHG emission reduction benefits :
    The greenhouse gas emission reduction benefits of the in-house on-site blow molding strategy are calculated based on basic assumptions: subtracting the transportation trips of PET bottles from the PET preform trips from the preform plant or Hon Chuan Taichung plant to customer factories. This estimation is reasonably calculated using the carbon emission coefficient for large trucks provided by the Environmental Protection Administration's Product Carbon Footprint Information Network. In total, it is estimated that the transportation emissions reduced in 2023 amount to 200.7 metric tons of CO2e.

  • In 2023, the greenhouse gas emissions intensity for Category 1 and Category 2 decreased by 1.6% compared to the previous year primarily due to improvements in production line efficiency and the benefits of energy-saving measures.

  • Setting Net Zero Carbon Goals and Measures
    In 2022, we declared our net zero carbon emissions target for 2050. The packaging industry has set 2022 as the baseline year, aiming for a 1% reduction in emissions compared to the baseline in 2023. The measures to achieve this goal include:
    1. Improving energy efficiency: Implement energy-saving projects in 2023 to reduce energy consumption by 1%.
    2. Transitioning to low-carbon energy: Contract out the installation of a 1,500 kWp solar photovoltaic system for self-use at our manufacturing plant by 2024.
    3. Internal and external collaboration: Collaborate with government agencies, non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, and professional organizations to jointly promote carbon reduction initiatives.
