ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Conservation & Renewable Sources

Our focus in energy efficiency management is to conserve and reduce consumption of energy throughout our production and processes.

We constantly monitor the use and installation of heaters, chillers and compressors for the current or additional machinery and equipment, to ensure optimum levels of energy consumptions and consistent effectiveness of equipment.

In September 2019, we installed the solar panels on the roof of our factories to substitute partial of our energy consumption towards green energy (“renewable energy”) and reduce total energy consumption. This is in line with the objective to play our part in climate change mitigation by reducing greenhouse gas emission in the atmosphere.

EFFLUENTS & WASTE

Recycle, Reuse and Reduce (3Rs)

We embrace Reduce, Reuse and Recycle (3Rs) in our core operations, and strongly believe that through this, we can do a part helping to extend and prolong the precious natural resources for the use of future generations. We have an effective recycle management system to reprocess and reclaim our internally generated plastics wastes, rejects and scraps. Further, the recycled materials can be reused as raw materials for suitable industrial packaging film application and consequently reduce consumption of virgin raw materials. We are committed to minimise our wastes, rejects and scraps footprint and also in support of the concept of circular economy.

Certified with ISO 14001: 2015 (Environment management), we are committed to operate under stringent international environment framework. We ensure that all residual scheduled waste are properly stored and disposed by responsible licensed contractors, and also urge our stakeholders to supply non-hazardous product to mitigate environmental contamination.

SOCIAL WELFARE

Support to Local Communities

We have always been cognisant of our role in supporting the development of the communities in which we operate. We believe that the welfare of local communities is crucial to the continued success of our business.

Since 2010, every year, we have been consistently organizing annual blood donation campaigns, doing our part to support the National Blood Bank.

In addition, over the years, our community involvement ranged from providing industrial training (internship) programmes, financial donations to charities, as well as donations of recycle bins in line with our objective to educate and encourage recycling.
