Water Resources Management

In the manufacturing process for processed glass, glass edging, anvil and drilling all require water.

TGI, after assessments, upheld the principle of water resources recycling, continued assessment and
applications of water-saving techniques to reduce water consumption. The entire factory’s water
consumption includes water for industrial use, water for daily use and recycled water (used in part for
the waste gas emission system). The factories use recycled water instead of tap water, reducing the
water consumption.

The way in which TGI obtains water for each factory does not have a significant impact on the
local water supply. Water is obtained from Taiwan Water Company, Area 11, Liyutan Reservoir, etc. For
water supplies of less than 5%, water sources for each factory are in the following table：

TGI factories consumed approximately 1.66 million tons of water in 2016. The water consumption

84 intensity of flat glass was increased by 6.02% and 14.14% for fiberglass. However, the water
consumption intensity for glass containers dropped by 26.01%. The total water consumption of all
TGI’s factories in 2016 was 76,416 tons lower than 2015.
