Environmental Sustainability and Management
Environmental Sustainability and Management
PASC values the effective use and management of environmental resources as reliable water and electricity supplies are essential for productivity. Initiatives to strengthen energy conservation, carbon reduction, energy management, as well as environmental pollution prevention and control have been introduced in response to climate change. In addition to comply with regulatory requirements, effective energy-efficiency measures are also being adopted to reduce the waste of environmental resources and ensure sustainable development.
Environmental protection and initiatives
(I) Raw Materials Management
Increasing severity of global warming and environmental pollution has led to growing international awareness on the importance of environmental protection. Client expectations on green products and product safety are only increasing steadily. PASC now requires product development to take compliance with HSF requirements into account when raw materials are being introduced and assessed during the R&D phase. Supplier partners for raw materials must comply with HSF requirements on a continuous basis as well to fulfill our joint commitment on maintaining environmental sustainability, protecting the health and safety of end-users, and reducing our corporate operating risks.
Control rules have been devised to manage the use of hazardous substances in products we produce in accordance with international environmental laws and to satisfy the environmental requirements of client products.
(II) Air Pollution Prevention and Water Pollution Prevention
PASC ensure that all exhaust gases and wastewater generated during the manufacturing process are properly treated. At the process planning stage, before using raw materials, and before the machines enter the factory, we confirm the properties and emission volumes of the exhaust gases and wastewater. Based on the types and characteristics of the pollutants, they are collected into appropriate pollution control equipment. We ensure that the pollutants discharged are properly treated and comply with environmental protection laws and regulations.
(III) Waste Management
Waste management at PASC follows the strategy of waster reduction and recycling. Waster reduction is achieved through source management measures that reduce the amount of waste generated. Due to the nature of the waste that our plants produce, recycling and reuse is our preferred method of waste treatment followed by physical chemistry and incineration. We are continuing to monitor emerging treatment technologies that improve the recovery rate and reduce the ratio of non-recyclable waste in order to reduce the environmental burden of waste processing.
Energy Management and Conservation Measures
PASC achieves energy-saving benefits through performance optimization adjustments and improvements. The greenhouse gases generated during the manufacturing process are also reduced through control equipment, thereby decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the impact on climate change.
Water consumption is reduced during the manufacturing process, and recycled water is effectively utilized as secondary water and for use in scrubbers. In cooperation with the parent company’s plant services system, various types of water that can be recycled are treated and reused. The main types of water for recycling and reuse include rainwater, condensed water, process-recovered water, and second-use recycled water. These water recycling and reuse solutions aim to improve the efficiency of water resource utilization and achieve environmentally friendly benefits.
