Kinsus has established an internal “Industrial Waste Management Procedure” that focuses on environmental considerations from the perspective of product life cycle. This procedure regulates the classification, collection, storage, and disposal of industrial waste. The aim is to use management measures to remove waste, improve environmental hygiene, and prevent the proportional increase of waste production as the production capacity grows, thus avoiding environmental threats. |

Requirements for Suppliers |
|
Reusable packaging containers are preferred, and if non-reusable containers are used, they must be made of recyclable materials. Waste generated during the supply process should be recyclable or classified as officially recyclable waste. |
|
Requirements for Production |
|
Source control is implemented for production materials, avoiding the use of raw materials and equipment materials that cannot be effectively handled by current environmental technologies. Reviewing the recycling and reuse of process raw materials/waste is emphasized to reduce unnecessary resource waste and promote circular reuse. |
|
Requirements for Employees |
|
Employees receive environmental, safety, and health education and training on their first day of work. They are educated on waste sorting, aiming to raise the environmental, safety, and health awareness and competence of every employee. Waste bins are placed at designated locations along employee routes, in pantry rooms, vending machine areas, etc., to facilitate independent sorting of recyclable waste. Each location should have at least five or more waste sorting categories, contributing to sustainable environmental practices and making a social impact. |

Waste Intensity Statistics for the Past Three Years |
|
Recycling Requirements for Waste Disposal |
|
The Company conducts annual reviews to assess the appropriateness of current waste disposal channels. More environmentally friendly methods are prioritized when selecting waste disposal contractors. In 2023, incinerated waste accounted for 15.85% of total waste. This figure was reduced to 14.68% in 2024. The waste recycling rate also increased from 84.15% to 85.32%. |
|
Transforming Waste into Energy |
|
Starting from 2023, the Company plans to actively promote the conversion of product waste from incineration to the production of auxiliary fuel rods. This continuous conversion of waste into renewable energy aims to contribute to the wellbeing of the planet. |
