Wood palletsNote 4 Non-Hazardous - - 2.80 Recycling
Empty drums Non-Hazardous - - 39.00 Recycling
Plastic pallet Non-Hazardous - - 33.74 Recycling

Notes:

  1. The statistics were included as we commenced on-site adhesive washing from August 2023.
  2. The term “general recycling (waste plastic)” was changed to “scraps/scrap cover-layers” in 2023.
  3. “Release paper” was included as we started to separate release paper and PI films of composite materials in August 2023.
  4. “Pallet recycled for suppliers” in the 2022 sustainability report was removed from the waste composition table in 2023. Instead, the wood pallets category reflected the reuse of wooden pallets by J.Shine International Logistics Co., Ltd. from November 2023.

  1. Transfer during disposal: Recycling; Direct disposal: Incineration (with energy recovery), incineration (without energy recovery), landfill.
  2. Recycling rate is calculated as: Recycled waste volume / Total waste volume × 100%.
