TSC is dedicated to reducing environmental impacts, specifically waste pollution, while cutting operating costs by refining waste management and improving resource utilization efficiency. Consequently, each production site has been awarded the ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification and conducts regular internal audits based on the system. In an effort to implement waste reduction, declaration, and cleaning (removal, treatment and reuse), each production site collects the resource-type waste generated from the site and classifies it based on its nature, and entrusts it to the external clearance. Moreover, for special waste generated during the process, such as chemical solvents, are temporarily stored in specific areas after classification, and are handled by qualified waste clearance and transportation vendors approved by the government authorities. On the part of grasping the final flow of waste, we also formulated an audit plan for waste clearance and transportation vendors, including tracers, GPS tracking, etc., and established a complete contractor management mechanism to actively implement waste management.
Due to the different nature of manufacturing processes, the types of waste generated at each production site vary to some extent. Consequently, TSC’s production sites in Taiwan have developed their own waste clearance and transportation process to enhance waste management. This includes staying updated on Taiwan’s laws and regulations, periodically assessing the implementation status, organizing meetings, and conducting regular reviews and corrections to ensure effective waste management.
