GHG Emissions

KYF voluntarily conducts greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories to effectively manage emissions at each plant, following ISO 14064 –1: 2018 standards. The inventory covers 100% of operational sites, including both direct and indirect emissions, with 2024 as the base year.

2024 Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Scope	Emission source	Shulin Plant	Yingge Plant	Yingge Plant 2	Dongshan Plant	Total (All Plants)
Scope 1	Category 1 Direct Emissions	129.5780	404.3977	150.0602	304.6751	988.7110
Scope 2	Category 2 Energy indirect emissions	3,220.3546	15,605.4347	2,475.7020	23,282.3520	44,583.8433
Scope 3	Category 3 Transportation indirect emissions	9.9726	967.9823	16.3099	984.2366	1,978.5014
Scope 3	Category 4 Indirect emissions from use of products by organization	3,566.9143	85,459.1656	1,132.0720	104,899.4996	195,057.6515
Total		6,926.820	102,436.980	3,774.144	129,470.763	242,608.707

Description:

Categories 5 and 6: No significant indirect GHG emissions.
The GHG inventories for Yingge Plant, Yingge Plant 2, Shulin Plant, and Dongshan Plant have successfully passed third–party verification.
Category 3 (employee commuting) was newly included in the 2024 GHG inventory.
All calculation results have been converted into tCO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) based on Global Warming Potentials (GWP – an authoritative emission coefficient) of relevant substances as
listed in the 6th IPCC report.
Of the seven major greenhouse gases in 2024, KYF’s emission sources include CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, and SF6.
2024 GHG Emission Intensity by Scope:

Scope	Emission Intensity (tCO2e)	Note
Scope 1, Scope 2	0.7714	= 45,572.5543 ÷ 59,074.2540
Scope 3	3.3354	= 197,036.1529 ÷ 59,074.2540

Note: Carbon emissions intensity per product = Total GHG emissions from all plants ÷ Total production volume of finished products by material type.

Recycled Material
Replacing New
Material Use

Using recycled rPET resin or flakes to substitute virgin PET raw materials, thereby reducing carbon emissions from the raw material input phase.

Virgin PET Carbon Emissions	Carbon Emissions of Recycled rPET Resin	Carbon Emissions of Recycled rPET Flakes
3.183 kg CO2e per kilogram	1.380 kg CO2e per kilogram	0.067 kg CO2e per kilogram

Based on SimaPro (2023) data, the emission factors per kilogram are as follows: virgin PET – 3.183 kg CO2e ; rPET resin – 1.380 kg CO2e; and rPET flakes – 0.067 kg CO2e . Thisclearly demonstrates that recycled materials generate significantly lower carbon emissions compared to virgin materials.

2024 Recycled Material Usage and Projected Carbon Emission Reduction:

	Usage (t)	PET & rPET Carbon Emissions (tCO2e )	Carbon emission reduction (tCO2e )
rPET – PCR Plastic Resin (Note 1)	6,854	PET：21,816.282 rPET resin：9,458.52	12,357.76
rPET – PCR Plastic Flakes (Note 1)	4,386	PET：13,960.638 rPET flakes：293.862	13,666.78
Total	11,240	–	26,024.54

Note 1. Post–Consumer Recycled (PCR): materials discarded after consumer use, which are collected, cleaned, and reprocessed for reuse in manufacturing.

– PCR plastic resins: small plastic pellets made from post–consumer recycled plastic that has been sorted, washed, shredded, melted, filtered, and pelletized.
– PCR plastic flakes: small flakes made from post–consumer recycled plastic that has been sorted, washed, and shredded.
Note 2. Currently, only PCR plastic resin are approved for use in domestic products in Taiwan, whereas PCR flakes are used exclusively in export products. All products undergo SGS testing prior to distribution

Reuse of Regrind
Materials

Edge trim from production lines is collected, processed into regrind material, and reintroduced into production to reduce the use of new materials and achieve carbon reduction benefits.
Carbon reduction benefits = the sum of (the total input of regrind material for each material category × the carbon emission factor for that material category).
