Waste Management
Chipbond Technology complies with the Ministry of Environment's regulations on waste disposal and implements waste reduction, reuse, and proper treatment measures annually based on the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. In addition to ensuring that the Company's operational waste management complies with regulatory and ISO standards, Chipbond also assesses waste-related impacts across the upstream and downstream value chains. Upstream, green procurement processes are implemented to avoid hazardous substances in raw materials. Downstream, the company has introduced hazardous substance process control (IECQ-QC 080000) and a vendor audit mechanism for waste disposal, treatment, and recycling, minimizing environmental hazards. water resource management approach_en.PNG (50 KB)

Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recycling

Through a product life cycle perspective, Chipbond continuously reviews and optimizes waste categorization and recycling processes to achieve energy saving, waste and carbon reduction goals. Waste management roles are clearly defined within each site. All sites are staffed with certified waste management personnel. To minimize the risk of leakage during manual handling, wastewater is collected via segregated pipelines under safe operation principles. Solid waste is sorted at the source and temporarily stored in designated waste storage areas based on its nature before being removed, treated, or recycled by certified vendors authorized by the Ministry of Environment. Chipbond prioritizes environmentally friendly reuse methods for waste treatment, followed by recycling. Incineration or landfill is considered only when recycling or reuse is not feasible. All waste generated is outsourced to off-site vendors for proper disposal.

2024 Implementation Results of Major Projects：
  • 541.224 metric tons of waste solvents were generated, with 457.144 metric tons successfully recycled, achieving a solvent recycling rate of 84.465%.
  • By working with applied material service providers, the waste silicon sludge generated from the grinding process water treatment system at the Zhanye Plant and Kuang-Fu Plant were recovered and processed into silica sand mortar and upgraded to recycled materials for high-value products. 124.76 tons of silicon sludge was recovered in 2024.
  • The copper-containing sludge from Nanyi Plant is processed by professional and qualified vendors for copper metal recovery, enabling the sustainable recycling of resources. In 2024, total of 266.44 tons were successfully recycled.
  • Chipbond created the "Tray Scrap Recycling and Remanufacturing Project". We recycled the scraps and waste materials generated in the production process, crushed them and mixed them with new raw materials to make recycled plastics, and reintroduced them into the process to reduce plastic waste and dependence on virgin plastics. The amount of defective materials invested in 2024 is 32,777 KG, and the recycled plastic input ratio is 17.44%.
  • The gifts for last year's shareholders' meeting and factory anniversary were eco-friendly recycled cooling towels. These cooling towels were made from regenerated fiber from recycled plastic bottles. In 2024, a total of 38,850 cooling towels were distributed, equivalent to recycling and reusing 76,146 plastic bottles.

In 2024, Chipbond generated a total of 2,308.843 metric tons of waste, of which 1,037.908 metric tons (44.95%) were classified as hazardous industrial waste. A total of 1,514.358 metric tons were recycled. The recycling rate of hazardous waste reached 73.07%, and the Company's overall waste recycling rate increased to 65.59%, a 2.55% improvement over the previous year. Specifically, 541.224 metric tons of waste solvents were generated, with 457.144 metric tons successfully recycled, achieving a solvent recycling rate of 84.465%. Waste generation per NT$1 million in revenue was 0.114 metric tons, representing a 0.29% increase compared to the previous year.
