To address waste management, the Company adopts a waste reduction-first approach, followed by classification and recycling, and finally waste disposal. Policies have been established for recycling resources such as water, electricity, and raw materials, with specific targets and implementation methods in accordance with ISO 14001, all disclosed on the Company’s website. The Company complies with government regulations and pays waste disposal fees as required under waste management laws. Waste generated from the Company’s operations primarily includes wastewater and waste liquids from the coating production lines. Oversight, management, and audits of waste disposal contractors are conducted through document reviews. In 2024, the Company generated 581.43 tons of general industrial waste, 12,962.50 tons of recyclable waste, and 4,077.03 tons of hazardous/dangerous/toxic waste. All waste is handled by qualified disposal contractors. Food waste from the employee cafeteria is collected by livestock industry contractors for recycling; this volume has not yet been included in statistics but will be added to recyclable waste counts in the future. The Company’s target for 2025 is to reduce hazardous waste by ≥3%, while the actual reduction achieved in 2024 was 19.17%. Starting in 2024, on-site inspections of hazardous waste disposal vendors have been conducted, including incineration of oil-contaminated rags, paint sludge, sanding belts, as well as disposal of waste liquids and fluorescent lamps.
