In addition, the Group completes an environmental impact assessment (EIA) prior to the construction of new production lines. The EIA report contains the analysis of the natural environment and environmental quality of the location of the new production line, and the potential environmental impacts of the project on the environment, water source, atmosphere, waste, light pollution and other aspects during the construction and operation period. The EIA can be used to guide the design of protection measures for the production line, ensure the reasonable site selection and layout of the construction project, and thus promote the overall environmental management of the Company.

EIA

The Company is mainly engaged in the production of PV glass, float glass, household glass and architectural glass. Starting with the procurement of raw materials such as fine quartz sand, aluminum hydroxide, limestone and dolomite, the Company produces quality glass products through the process flow of melting, solder stripping, calendering and forming, coating, cleaning, cutting and packaging. During our production process, the main resources consumed include fuel oil, electricity and natural gas, etc.; the emissions generated mainly include industrial waste water, exhaust gas, hazardous and non-hazardous waste, etc. To properly dispose of various emissions, the Company has set up an automatic monitoring system within the plant to monitor and control the emissions in real time. In addition, the Company secured a green loan of US$180 million from DBS Bank in 2020, which is used in photovoltaic glass products and project construction.

Efficient Resource Utilization

Energy use

The energy consumed by the Company is mainly fuel oil, electric power and natural gas. Energy consumption also remains the major source of greenhouse gases. In line with the principle of energy conservation and consumption reduction, the Company has well managed the use of energy. Efforts have not only been spent on source control and continuous improvement but also on satisfying and improving productivity.

Through the formulation and implementation of energy management objectives, optimization of production layout, renovation of outdated equipment and other measures, the Company has reduced both production costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The Company has installed waste heat recovery power plant to recover waste heat generated in the production process. In addition, the Company has actively used photovoltaic power in place of traditional energy sources to further reduce the impact on the environment.

Measures have been taken by Household Glass Division to save energy

In 2020, Household Glass Division, by optimizing production layout and renovating outdated equipment, has improved energy efficiency, further reduced both greenhouse gas emissions and the impact of the Company's operation on the environment.

Water use

The Company's main source of water intake is municipal water supply in our locations, and there was no problem in obtaining suitable water sources. The Company advocates water conservation. At Flat Glass, the treated waste water have been reused as recycled water for edging operation to meet demands, thereby saving first utilized water.

In 2020, the Company renovated cleaning machines and other main water consuming equipment and controlled the water output by changing the water output mode; automatic induction devices were installed to reduce the use of water resources by automatic shutdown in case of no product.

Waste water treatment upgraded and recycled water quality improved

In 2020, the Household Glass Division of the Company completed the upgrade of the existing waste water treatment system, which enhanced and improved the quality of recycled water, reduced waste water discharge, and improved the efficiency of water utilization. The index results of the recycled water quality testing after renovation are as follows:

Solid waste management

The Company follows the principle of reduction and reuse for solid waste management to fully improve the efficiency of resource utilization. During the production process, waste glass produced is directly reused by the Group; waste paper, wood chips, wood scraps, and waste foamed plastics are handed over to suppliers for recycling; and sludge is handed over to building material companies for brick making. All these efforts are made to maximize resource utilization. The rest food wastes, industrial wastes and other general wastes are entrusted to qualified entities for centralized treatment. In terms of hazardous waste treatment, the Company has strictly implemented the GB Standard for pollution control on hazardous waste storage, formulated the Hazardous Waste Management System, and entrusted qualified entities for the disposal of such wastes.
