Waste Management

Policy

To track waste flow, ensure that all waste is treated properly, and promote waste recycling

Goal

Short-term： Continues to promote waste reuse and good waste treatment in entire plants.
Mid and Long-Term： The entire plant's waste recycling rate up to 100%.

Management

Carry out the waste supplier evaluation mechanism and contract management, and confirm each removal and proper disposal flow.
Increase the diversity of chemical removal channels to achieve material recycling benefits.
Promote and implement recycling to employees and waste management control.

Conditions for waste

Within the factory premises, general business waste predominates.
In 2023, the total waste amounted to 15,359.25 metric tons, an increase of approximately 1,065.42 tons compared to 2022.
The increase primarily came from recyclable waste, which rose by 1,177.11 tons, while other general and hazardous waste decreased by 111.69 tons.
The factory achieved a waste recycling rate of 98% in 2023.
In 2023, a total of 51 waste removal, treatment, and recycling organizations were contracted. Among them, 12 companies had records of 18 violations that resulted in sanctions during the year, but these incidents were unrelated to the waste entrusted by our company.

After waste generation, segregation and collection are carried out using space bags or compatible containers. The majority of plastic waste undergoes recycling for backend processing. Waste that cannot be recycled or poses potential environmental pollution risks is generally treated through incineration.
Continue to promote converting plastic waste into RDF.

Vegetable residues: After waste generation, vegetable residues are collected using containers and then mixed with animal manure to produce pelletized fertilizers for agricultural use.
Sludge waste: Reusing sludge waste as renewable energy through anaerobic biogas power generation or used as boiler fuel for steam generation. Some sludge was thermally treated to produce alternative fuels for cement production, turning waste into energy. These practices not only diversify disposal methods but also promote material recycling and circular economy benefits.

Supplier Assessment
Communicate environmental policy

Entrust a legal removal vendor to take care of the waste.
During the removal period, the GPS track is confirmed and the vehicle is followed from time to time to make sure the waste is indeed delivered to the treatment facility.
After final disposal, proactively track the disposal situation and keep records of proper waste disposal for reference, to ensure the waste can be properly handled.
