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

General business waste is discharged from the plant.
In 2022, there was an increase of 2,508 tons of recycled waste, while other general and hazardous waste decreased by 35 tons compared to 2021.
In 2022, we added iron scraps, aluminum scraps, and paper waste into waste management, causing the total waste increased.
The entire plant's waste recycling rate achieve to 97% in 2022.
The waste reuse rate of the packaging business increased to 94%, and the waste emission intensity is 0.933(Ton of waste/ per million of sales).
The waste reuse rate of beverage business is as high as 99%, waste emission intensity in Aseptic 1st Beverage-filling Plant was 0.0229, Aseptic 2nd Beverage-filling Plant was 0.0224, and Aseptic 3rd Beverage-filling Plant was 0.0332 in 2022.

We collects all the waste in space packs or compatible containers. Most of the waste is reused for back-end treatment, while the remaining waste that cannot be recycled or may cause environmental pollution goes through incineration or thermal treatment.
Continue to promote converting plastic waste into RDF.
In 2022, we plan to clean the hazardous solvents container and reduce the hazardous waste by putting them through the process of recycling. Reducing the waste volume and reusing oil waste are our next steps for more efficient waste treatment.

Beverage Business (The reuse rate of waste is 99%)

Residues: It is collected in a bucket, and the plant-derived and sludge waste are mixed with livestock manure to make granulated fertilizer for farmers.
Sludge: In 2022, the sludge was made into substitute fuel by anaerobic fermentation to produce biogas or boiler fuel for steam power, and with heat treatment it was used for cement production. The waste can be converted into energy, and increasing diverse disposal channels to achieve the benefit of realizing material recycling.
Continue to implement waste control while raising employees' awareness regarding waste resource classification. The index of the beverage business's waste has gradually decreased.

Supplier Assessment
Environmental communication policy

Entrust vendor for waste removal
During removal, the vendor’s GPS tracks are verified and followed from time to time to ensure that waste is properly delivered to the treatment facility.
After final treatment, we take the initiative to track the treatment status and retain written documents for proper disposal of waste for future reference, ensuring that waste is properly treated.
