Pollution and Resource Management

Composition of
Management Structure

Governance
Established an ISO 14001 Working Group and a Waste Management Working Group at every factory, with progress reports submitted to the Board of Directors every three months.
Strategy
Focusing on management at the source, process control, and resource circulation under ISO 14001 standards.
Risk management
Assessing regulatory risks, conducting third-party waste audits on disposal service providers, and implementing a preventive maintenance plan for pollution prevention systems.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Establishing environmental Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for water, energy, and waste in the form of "intensity per production unit" to reflect actual efficiency.

Innovation & Tech

The Company integrates innovation to minimize resource consumption and create value from waste. Through research and development, we have reduced unnecessary plastic packaging, such as by combining powder and oil seasonings into a single sachet. Furthermore, we have pioneered upcycling innovations to add value to waste materials by transforming rejected seasoning packets and instant noodle wrappers into "Eco-Boards" (artificial wood panels).

Eco-friendly production process (Green Process)

The Company controls pollution and manages resources through three core practices:

(1) Advanced Pollution Control Technology: Installed Multi-Cyclone and Wet Scrubber systems for dust and gas capture, alongside utilizing Activated Sludge and Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (ABR) systems for biological wastewater treatment.

(2) Circular Economy and Zero Waste: Transitioned to environmentally friendly paper packaging and collaborated with suppliers on take-back initiatives for packaging materials, such as film cores and sauce containers, to promote resource circularity and waste reduction.

(3) Energy Management: Implemented a Steam Ejector system to reduce steam consumption in the noodle steaming process, enhancing energy efficiency.

Performance Achievements (Impact & Results)

The successful implementation of the Company’s pollution and resource management strategies has delivered tangible environmental benefits, particularly through the circular utilization of industrial waste and the optimization of water management across production processes.
