Waste Management

Nan Pao is committed to avoiding the use of prohibited substances and raw materials, while actively promoting waste reduction and circular utilization. In selecting raw materials and suppliers, the Company adopts a rigorous and cautious management approach, continuously seeking technological improvements or environmentally friendly alternatives. At the same time, Nan Pao complies with all environmental regulations and customer requirements related to its business, products, and services, striving to achieve ― and even exceed ― established environmental goals.

Nan Pao conducts regular waste audits to evaluate the amount and type of waste generated across operations. The audits identify spent solvents as the Company's primary waste stream. By reviewing waste generation data and segregation practices, the audits help pinpoint opportunities to reduce volumes, increase recycling, and ensure proper treatment and disposal. Findings are integrated into our waste management program to drive continuous improvement and minimize environmental impact.

The Company adopts "total waste reduction" and "waste resource utilization" as its primary waste management strategies. Through process optimization and raw material reduction measures at the source, Nan Pao is committed to lowering overall waste generation while increasing waste recycling and reuse rates.

 

In 2024, Nan Pao Taiwan achieved significant progress in waste resource utilization, with a total of 743 metric tons of waste recycled and reused, representing an increase of 124 metric tons (20.03%) compared with 2023. For the Nan Pao Group, the total amount of waste recycled and reused in 2024 reached 2,116 metric tons, an increase of 874 metric tons (142.11%) from 2023. Among this, hazardous waste recycling and reuse totaled 1,554 metric tons, with the recycling rate rising from 37.11% to 50.49%. Meanwhile, non-hazardous waste recycling and reuse reached 562 metric tons, with the recycling rate improving from 10.13% to 27.15%, reflecting a clear shift of waste management toward resource utilization.

 

 

In response to the one-time impact of waste disposal intensity in 2024, the Company will adjust its management focus in 2025 to strengthening resource circulation. The new target is to increase the recycling and reuse rate of hazardous waste by 5% compared with 2023, continuing to promote waste reduction and sustainable management.
