Waste Reduction Projects and Resource Recycling Benefits
Ta-I Technology is actively optimizing its production processes and packaging procedures to reduce waste generation at the source. Key waste reduction projects for 2025 are as follows:
| Plant Site | Waste Reduction Project Title | Specific Implementation Details | Estimated Savings Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taiwan | Wastewater Treatment Sludge from Electroplating Process (A-8801) | Optimized chemical treatment processes to reduce chemical use while ensuring effluent meets discharge standards, thereby reducing sludge generation, preventing pollution, and minimizing environmental impact. | Approx. 187 metric tons |
| Suzhou | Waste Paper Scraps (900-005-S17) | Optimized packaging processes starting in November 2025 by eliminating in-house punching operations and purchasing pre-punched paper tape. This reduced in-house paper scraps and general industrial waste clearance needs while improving packaging efficiency. | Approx. 3 metric tons |
