Water Resources Reduction Management

Water Resources Management Policy

TGI improves water efficiency by purchasing water-conserving equipment.
We promote awareness of green production and reuse water resources.

In the process of manufacturing glass, such as glass edging, anvil holes, drilling, etc., a large amount of water source must be
used. We continue to improve water-saving technologies in various factories, evaluate feasible methods and apply them to reduce water
consumption and achieve the spirit of sustainable water resources. The water used in each factory can be divided into business water,
domestic water and recycled water (partially used in the exhaust system), and recycled water is used instead of tap water to reduce the
amount of tap water. The water withdrawal from each factory in Taiwan has no significant impact on the local water source. The water
intake is as shown in the right table.

improved. Recycled water is used as dilution water. The recycled water system has gradually improved and the increase in water
consumption has gradually declined. 2019 is 2.9% lower than in 2018.
