Waste Management
E Ink prioritizes compliance with regulations and reducing environmental impact in waste management. Within the factory premises, waste is primarily prioritized for recycling and reuse. Waste that cannot be recycled is stored centrally for incineration, and if incineration is not possible, it is disposed of through landfilling.
In 2022, the total amount of waste generated in E Ink 's global sites due to increased production capacity was 2,981 metric tons, representing a 78% increase compared to the previous year. The waste generation intensity was 99.2 kilograms per million NTD, an increase of approximately 16% from the previous year. The waste recycling rate remained the same at 38% as in 2021. In the first half of 2022, the waste generation and intensity increased compared to the previous year due to the trial operation phase of the new production line in the Hsinchu site. It is planned that stable production will be resumed at the Hsinchu site in 2023.
