  • Waste management

KEMFLO is committed to promoting resource recycling, practicing the principles of waste reduction and reuse, following3RstrategySource reduction (Reduce), reuse in the production process (Reuse), and regeneration into value-added by-products (Recycle) and use incineration or landfill as the last disposal option. The company continues to optimize processes and management procedures to enhance overall resource use efficiency and implement the concept of a circular economy. 

 

Due to the characteristics of raw materials and products, KEMFLO needs to use a large number of wooden pallets during the production process. Usable wooden pallets are recycled and reused, while damaged ones are handled by qualified waste disposal companies, prioritized to be sent to laundries equipped with legally operated wood-burning boilers as a steam heat source. If the processing capacity of the laundry has reached its limit, they are then sent to tofu skin factories to be used as boiler fuel.2024Effective recycling and reuse of wooden pallets, for those that are damaged and cannot be reused, the cumulative weight converted to energy use has reached161,690kilograms, improve overall material usage efficiency, achieve recycling goals. 

 

In addition, KEMFLO actively promotes the following waste management measures: 

Waste classification and treatment 

Strengthen the classification, collection, and storage of general solid waste, hazardous waste, recyclable and non-recyclable materials, and hand them over to legally qualified third-party processors for compliant disposal. 

internal circulation reuse 

Reuse of injection molding test water and cutting cooling water, recycling of plastic edge scraps for remanufacturing. 

Reduction design and material optimization 

Use easily disassembled and recyclable materials (such as unified plastic categories), and promote waste-reducing packaging designs such as reusable shared pallets and foldable packaging boxes. 

Process Improvement 

Implement systems such as Lean Production, 6S management, and TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) to reduce process scrap and unnecessary resource waste.

Digital monitoring and early warning 

BuildThe connected sensors monitor waste generation nodes in real-time, adjusting parameters in a timely manner to effectively enhance response efficiency and reduction results.

Performance: The generation of industrial waste in 2024 decreased by 217.393 tons compared to 2023. However, the performance in 2024 grew by 17.8% compared to 2023, and the number of employees increased by 10.25%. This shows the effectiveness of waste management, such as:
1. Ensure proper classification

2. Encourage colleagues to bring their own cups/plates/bowls; use mugs when clients visit to reduce the use of paper cups.

3. Raw material/trimmings recycling for reuse in other downstream processes
4. KEMFLO Pingtung FactoryEffective recycling and reuse of wooden pallets, for those that are damaged and cannot be reused, the cumulative weight converted into energy use has reached161,690公斤,
Enhance overall material usage efficiency and achieve recycling goals.
