GHG Emissions
We conduct greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories voluntarily to facilitate the effective management of GHG emissions in all our plants. Direct and indirect emissions
of our operating sites are inventoried by ISO 14064 –1 : 2018 principles and requirements. Our inventory coverage rate has reached 100% (2021 has been set as
the base year).

Description:
- Category 5 and 6: No significant indirect GHG emissions.
- Third–party verification has been completed for the Yingge, Shulin, and Dongshan Plants and GHG inventories
- We added a new item, upstream raw material usage in category 4 i n 2023
- All calculation results have been converted into MT CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) based on Global W arming Potentials (GWP – an authoritative emission coef ficient) of relevant substances as listed in the 6th IPCC report.
- In 2023, our company’ s emission sources among the seven major greenhouse gases are C O2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, and SF6.
- Greenhouse gas emissions intensity by scope:
Scope | Carbon emissions intensity per product (MT CO2e) | Note |
---|---|---|
Scope 1, Scope 2 | 0.7971 | = 45,802.5094 ÷ 57,463.5563 |
Scope 3 | 2.3502 | = 135,051.5315 ÷ 57,463.5563 |
Note:
- Carbon emissions intensity per product in 2021= total GHG emissions of all plants ÷ (Total shipment volume of finished goods in all material categories * Sum of all material density parameters converted into PET density).
- Carbon emissions intensity per product in 2022&2023 = total GHG emissions of all plants ÷ (Total output volume of finished goods in all material categories * Sum of all material density parameters converted into PET density).

Waste Reduction Initiative | Benefits across all plants Reduction: 417.9 waste tons Reduction in waste and corresponding carbon emissions based on each proposal project |
417.9 tons | 486.2 |
Replacement of New Materials with rPET | Replacement of new materials with purchased rPET (for rPET products) to reduce PET consumption and thereby achieve carbon reduction benefits. |
6,828 tons | 12,290.4 |
Reuse of Regrind Materials | In – plant reuse of trimmings for production after crushing and recycling to reduce consumption of new materials and thereby achieve carbon reducti on benefits. “Carbon reduction benefits” = the total input of trimmings in all material categories * Carbon emissions in all material categories. |
