Energy Consumption
Due to our process requirements, our main energy source is purchased electricity. Power conservation therefore represents our core strategy to maximize our positive influence in the environmental dimension. The scope of our energy consumption reporting in 2023 encompassed the Shulin, Yingge, and Dongshan plants, as well as the R&D building, achieving a coverage rate of 100%.

Note:
- The coefficients and indicators listed above have been derived from “Wi dely Used Calorific V alues in International Energy Statistics” in the 2018EnergyStaH andBook of the Bureau of Energy (1 liter of Diesel = 8,400 kcal, 1 liter of LPG = 6,635 kcal, 1 liter of gasoline = 7,800 kcal)
- Gcal, a unit of energy that frequently appears in international energy statistics, can be converted into the TJ coefficient as follows: 4.187×10–3; Kcal =1,000cal, Gcal = 1,000,000,000

Total power consumption broken down by plants in the period from 2021–2023:
| Plant | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | Difference between 2023 and 2022(percentage)2021 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shulin Plant | 12,444,940.6 | 10,050,658 | 6,596,126 | – 52.37% |
| Yingge Plant | 40,866,144 | 36,675,488 | 34,591,152 | – 6.03% |

| Comparison of two years’ dif ferences | 96,581,202 | 92,254,799 | – 4.69% | |
It has been determined upon analysis that despite the aforementioned year–over–year drop of 4.69% caused by a decline in our output, the reduction is attributed to the effectiveness of improvement proposals, resulting in a decrease of about 5% in electricity consumption per ton of production. We will continue to pursue internal energy –saving improvements in the future.
Average power consumption per ton output in 2021–2023:
| 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average power consumption per ton output of finished goods (kWh) |
1,656.0 | 1,684.0 | 1,592.9 |
Note:
It had been detected by the ESG Committee that shipment volume was not an accurate measure of production– related power consumption; it was therefore decided to replace shipment volume with finished good output volume for power consumption calculations in 2022.
2021: [Power consumption of all plants – (Office power consumption + Dormitory power consumption)]/
[Total shipment volume of finished goods in all material categories*Sum of all material density parameters converted into PET density]
2022: [Power consumption of all plants – (Office power consumption + dormitory power consumption)]/
[Total output volume of finished goods in all material categories*Sum of all material density parameters
converted into PET density]
Correction:
Power consumption calculated based on shipment volume in 2021 has been determined to be an inaccurate representation of production–related power consumption. Shipment volume was therefore replaced with output volume for calculations in 2022.
Average energy consumption per ton output of finished goods in th e period from 2021 to 2023:
| Year | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual total (MJ) | 393,601,710.64 | 347,881,990.45 | 332,223,469.8 |
| Total weight in tons based on converted density for each material | 71,989.15 | 57,463.56 | 56,800.49 |
| Average energy consumption per ton output of finished goods (MJ) (Energy Intensity) | 5,467.51 | 6,053.96 | 5,848.95 |
Note: 1kWh = 3.6 MJ; 1kcal=4.187*(10^-3) MJ
Correction: The 2022 sustainability report contains incorrect data for 2021 and 2022, and has been revised accordingly .
The YoY drop in energy intensity values in 2023 can be attributed to t he replacement of Diesel –powered forklifts and the ef fects of improvement initiatives.

2020 has been set as the base year for reporting power savings.
To facilitate the systematic implementation of energy conservation, the Dongshan Plant adopted the ISO 50001 Energy Management System in 2022. The plant has determined the order of priority for energy consumption improvement measures based on an energy baseline inventory. Our other plants are projected to follow the example of the Dongshan Plant by adopting ISO 50001 shortly .
In addition to energy–saving reports, internal energy–saving improvement projects are tracked for effectiveness in each quarterly ESG committee meeting. The total number of internal proposals and their performance in 2023 were as follows:

RE100 Membership
In August 2021, we became an official member of the Climate Group’s RE100 Initiative (media coverage link) and the first (and so far only) plastic container manufacturer to pass the RE100 review process. We commit to achieve 100% renewable electricity by 2050. We have set clearly defined goals of 60% and 90% renewable energy in 2030 and 2040, respectively , to ensure ongoing progress toward the net –zero vision and make a contribution to keeping the global tempe rature rise within 1.5°C.
In 2022, the Dongshan Plant participated in the Demonstration Guidance Project for Energy Management in the Manufacturing Sector organized by the Industrial Development Bureau (IDB) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The guidance consultant assisted the plant in gaining a deeper insight into energy management processes and fundamentals with the ultimate goal of giving employees a better understanding of energy management practices and accelerating the implementation process. The plant passed the certification audit for the ISO 500001 Ene rgy Management System in 2022 and continued to maintain its ef fectiveness in 2023.
