Management
Environmental Policy and Commitment
CGPC strives to maintain the safety and health of its employees and protect the environment. To this end, we are committed to complying with environmental protection, safety, health laws and regulations, implementing a spirit of continuous improvement, and implementing practices such as waste material diversion and recycling, pollution prevention, resource conservation, industrial waste reduction, and neighborly relations.
Waste Management
CGPC minimizes waste generation through several practices: selling leftover materials, auctioning off unqualified products, and recycling and remanufacturing offcuts. The resulting minimal waste is classified into general industrial and hazardous industrial categories. Qualified, licensed organizations handle the removal and disposal according to the Waste Disposal Act. We are committed to promoting resource classification and recycling, as well as 5S activities. As a result, our domestic waste has been decreasing year by year, demonstrating our excellent performance in this efforts.
Life cycle management for waste
The hazardous waste generated by CGPC and TVCM in 2024 was 172.04 tonnes. Without proper management and effective treatment, random disposal can pollute the environment (air, soil, and water), further affecting the ecosystems and harming human health. Therefore, we have adopted the following management measures: 1. Review vendors’ qualifications: they need to be qualified waste removal and treatment organizations. 2. Use the GPS real-time tracking system to confirm the transportation route and flow. 3. Conduct irregular vehicle inspections to ensure that hazardous waste is properly handled.

Note:
1.
All recyclable resources from CGPC’s plants are handled off-site by licensed vendors for recycling.
2.
Our environmental safety and health units regularly inspects waste disposal vendors' management and disposal monitoring, and the general affairs units work with waste treatment organizations to formulate contracts. GPS real-time tracking systems are used to confirm the transportation routes and flows, and the delivery receipt is signed by all three parties, ensuring that the waste is transported and treated in accordance with regulations. In 2024, the disposal and treatment agencies did not have any breach of contract.
3.
Due to previous omissions in data from the three plants, the 2022 figures have been updated.
4.
In 2023, industrial waste increased. At CGPC, waste iron rose due to plant demolition; at CGPCP, landfill volume increased due to residual packaging material. For CGPCP, an agreement has been reached with the waste disposal vendor to implement off-site recycling and reuse in the future. In addition, CGPC’s increase in hazardous waste was due to chemical waste liquid from the PVC Leather Manufacturing Department.
5.
In 2024, TVCM’s industrial waste increased due to tank dismantling and maintenance-related equipment replacement, while CGPC was unable to significantly reduce waste volume due to fire-related demolition at the Rigid Film Plant.
