Sustainable management

Environment Policy

Tapex recognizes that proactive responses to environmental changes and the safety and health of workers are key elements of sustainable management. Based on this, we have established and run a company-wide environmental management system that can proactively take preventive actions for environmental issues and environmental management activities, and create a safe working environment by thoroughly controlling safety accidents and health risks.

In order to prevent environmental risks and safety accidents that may occur during production process, a risk management system for each sector has been established and operated. We reinforce the inspection activities with the responses to potential emergency and incident prepared and the periodic training on the responses to our members.

Air pollutant management

We take particle dust and air pollution seriously, and try aggressively to reduce air pollutants with built the optimized prevention facility including RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer), AC Tower (Activated Carbon Tower) to perfectly treat air pollutants generated at worksites to meet the high social expectations.

Air pollutants emission concentration

Air pollutants emission concentration
Item emission standards Unit 2020 2021
Dust 30 mg/Sm² 2.88 2.53
SOx 58.33 ppm 0.28 1.50
NOx 53.33 ppm 32.74 34.86

Chemicals Management

In order to respond to the strengthened legal regulations on chemical substances and to prevent environmental incidents such as environmental pollution caused by the use of chemical substances in advance, we make our experts conduct a preliminary review on all chemical substances used in the workplace for safe and proper handling.

  • Component Information and Hazard Check on Chemical Substance (before purchase)
  • Response to license for chemical substance (before use)
  • Compliance with chemical handling and facility standards
  • Securing hazardous chemical leakage prevention facilities (detectors, leak blocking facilities)
  • Periodic inspection and training

Waste management

In order to minimize the environmental impact of waste generation, we minimize the waste generated during production process, and continue to push ahead maximized recycling and minimized emissions thorough separation and collection according to characteristics and types of waste.

Waste Discharge and Recycling

Amount of discharged waste (A-B) ton - 33.91 44.26

Water pollutant management (septic tank)

No process wastewater is generated in the process of production activities, and we strictly control the pollutants concentration of the wastewater generated at our premises.
