Sustainable Manufacturing Process
The VR devices by HTC combine new forms of operation, life, working, learning and traveling through green product design and help users to reach the goal of energy saving and carbon-reduction. For energy consumption during the production process, we have strengthened our management and introduced operation control center(OCC) to reduce energy consumption and implement waste management.
Waste Management
From a holistic value chain perspective, we manage waste by establishing a supplier management system to ensure proper handling of upstream waste. By incorporating the principles of waste reduction and circular economy starting from the stage of our product design, we adhere to our established "Waste Management Procedures" in our operational activities to ensure that all waste is properly classified, managed, and disposed of in accordance with procedures and regulatory requirements. We outsource the treatment of the waste generated from our operations by engaging authorized waste removal and treatment facilities approved by the Environmental Protection Administration for backend processing. Similarly, qualified vendors are entrusted with the treatment of our recyclable materials for internal recycling within the company. Our focus is on reducing the environmental impact of waste and improving waste recycling rates, thereby ensuring the effective resource recovery and proper waste management.
We minimize the amount of waste that has a negative impact on the environment in our manufacturing process and comply with environmental, safety and hygiene standards to ensure that waste is removed and disposed of legally and without environmental impact. We uphold our commitment to proper waste disposal, entrust legal waste removal and disposal vendors to select the most suitable disposal method for the nature of waste, and supervise waste removal and transportation through online reporting and regular audits of waste disposal vendors. Processed waste will be reported to the EPD's "Waste Reporting and Management Information System" platform to comply with regulatory requirements and achieve HTC 's environmental sustainability expectations.
Waste Reduction, Recycling and Reuse
Committed to waste reduction strategies, such as sorting, advocacy, reducing waste at the source, and promoting resource reuse. The recycling rate of non-hazardous waste increased from 56.89% in 2011 to 83.58%. The total amount of non-hazardous waste recycled in 2023 is about 267.98 metric tons. By the end of 2023, the accumulated recycling income reached NT$92,262,151.
