Recycle of Waste Glass

Glass is highly recyclable. Thanks to this feature, in the future government and the society certainly will support the use of glass as
packing material due to environmental concerns. TGI's flat glass factories use recycled scrap glass in production.

TGI's container factory recycles its blemished and scraped products, which reduces the consumption of ore and the environmental
impact. Recycle yards recycle scrapped glass products and ship them to the Hsinchu Factory. These recycled products will be selected,
washed, smashed and screened before being used as raw materials for production. Recycling reduces waste and consumption of ore, which
benefits the environment. A scraped glass is not considered as waste in the glass industry. Instead, it is the material needed for production.
Glass containers are the type of product most consumers are familiar with and the most demanded product in the glass industry. Therefore
adding scraped glass into the molten glass is both beneficial environmentally and economically. In addition to recycling scrap glass, TGI also
recycles all the reusable packaging material in the production process; Not only does this reduces cost, but it also reduces our environmental
impact and fulfills our corporate social responsibilities.
