For waste management, The Company has implemented environmental policies in waste management through planning as a bottom-up approach, commencing with a decrease in resource consumption, in accordance with the organization’s goals that encourage the most efficient use of resources. When the quantity of waste produced is decreased, the amount of waste produced and the waste disposal burden imposed by the Company’s business operations and activities will be reduced.
Under the Quality, Environmental, and Occupational Health & Safety Policy, the Company has initiated waste management as a practical approach to reducing the negative impacts on the communities and the environment. Also, the Company focuses on the minimization of the amount of waste produced and recycles it to reduce the waste generated by management. The Company has constantly implemented waste management projects such as relocating solar panels that are decreasing in efficiency to other areas of the Company’s Group or communities, etc. In addition, the Company has established a waste management procedure that covers the management of waste and hazardous waste generated by the Company's production processes or activities, as well as the control of the sorting process/type of waste and hazardous waste, and proper waste and hazardous waste disposal.
In addition, the Company has established waste management guidelines. From previous operations, the Company has established waste management practices and implemented the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) strategy by focusing on reducing, reusing, and recycling. Besides that, the Waste Management Procedure has been reviewed on a regular basis, and awareness among employees in the organization about excellence in environmental management and the commitment to complying with relevant laws has been established in order to lead to sustainable business development. By organizing the “3Rs Campaign Communication”, which focuses on reducing, reusing, and recycling, the Company has campaigned and cultivated the cost-effective use of resources for its employees and personnel. The Company has a management process in place as well as cost-effective resource utilization and regular control and follow-up.
The Company to reduce dirt in wastewater from glycerin tower is implemented with the use of filter press so that filtered water can be reused in the production process. The project helps reduce treatment of wastewater from the production process by 30-45 tons per month, hence a decrease of wastewater treatment expense by Baht 35,000 per month.
The company has Energy management guidelines by developing an appropriate energy management energy management system. The operating guidelines are setting goals and creating energy projects for the reduction of fuel consumption control to be in the appropriate amount for the operation.
The company has an Energy Conservation Policy announcement, a summary of the annual report on Energy management by setting goals and creating energy projects for the implementation of fuel consumption control to be in the appropriate amount for the operation.
The project to reduce LPG by reusing the remaining heat from hot RBD oil back to heat up directly on raw material. The ratio of LPG consumption during 2021, 2022 and 2023 are 0.64 Kg, 0.78 and 0.75 Kg of LPG / Kg of RBD oil respectively.
The project to reduce Coal by changing 16 ton tubes Boiler. The ratio of Coal consumption reduces from 146 Kg of Coal / Ton steam in 2021 and 147.79 Kg of Coal / Ton steam in 2022 to 140 Kg of Coal / Ton steam in 2023.
Project to Replace Cooling Tower Fan Blades by changing the material of the cooling tower fan blades, electricity consumption has been reduced by 126,327.96 kWh.
Solar Panel Installation Project on Rooftops Solar panels have been installed on the rooftops of office buildings, parking lots, and warehouse facilities within the company Nakhon Sawan, Phitsanulok and Chaiyaphum. This initiative aims to reduce external electricity consumption to 191,711.9 kWh.
Floating Solar Panel Project Floating solar panels have been installed on the solar power plant Lopburi province water reservoir, contributing to the reduction of external electricity consumption to 37,212.7 kWh.
The Company has a guideline for water management resulting from its operations by reusing the used water to reduce the amount of water used. In addition, the company has an action plan to turn the treated wastewater into good quality water for use in the green areas of the factory. To replace the use of tap water, including campaigning and promoting the use of resources in a cost-effective manner and maximum efficiency. Although some of the Company’s projects are located in a water-stressed area, no huge amounts of water are consumed and affect the stakeholders. The project also has a stakeholder-focused water management plan in place.
In 2023, there were no water-related incidents with a financial impact above USD 10,000.
For 2023 performance, the amount of water used in the production process is 124,394 cubic meters and the amount of recycled water is 1,518 cubic meters from the operation of 2 projects, as shown below:
Project on use of blowdown water from cooling tower to replace pipe water in the fire-fighting system: The project helps reduce pipe water consumption by 1,480 cubic meters or 1.19% of water required to be filled in the cooling tower.
Project on reuse of treated water for plant cleaning: The project reduces use of pipe water by 38 cubic meters or 0.03% of total pipe water consumption of the plant.
The project to reduce water used by standardization of EC (Electrical Conductivity) parameter in Water Rinse2 and Water Rinse4 in order to reduce the addition of DI water (water that passes through the deionization process ), which can reduce the amount of tap water used to produce DI water by 50.4 cubic meters/month.
Car Body and Parts Surface Cleaning System Project before EDP Coating Process by enhancing the quality of the workpieces after the coating process, the water consumption in DI water production has been reduced by 878 l/ 1 vehicle.
Results of air quality measurement in the solar power plant area The company has guidelines for managing air pollution. The amount of air pollution has been monitored and monitored to ensure that it is in accordance with the law, not exceeding 0.33 milligrams per cubic meter (0.33 mg/m3).
