In response to globalization, Yeh Her Yow Plastic Co. has continuously obtained technical certification marks, and also promises to continue to work hard to improve higher technical levels, and to continue to pay attention to global market trends. Under the global issue of ESG, the company is Since then, we have started to implement the actual practice of energy saving and carbon reduction, and we have gradually carried out the company's carbon inventory last year, so as to achieve the goal of sustainable operation and meet the needs of customers and the market.In response to the relationship between global warming and climate change, Yeh Her Yow Plastic Co. Mfg. Ltd. (YHY) advocated the net zero trajectory of ESG and the obligation of enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities. Under the catalysis of this wave, they began to work on how to achieve the goal of net zero carbon emissions many years ago. Make an effort, in the selection of many equipment, processes and materials, we are positively facing this track. The first step is to check the greenhouse gas inventory, inventory the main major items of carbon emissions, and then try our best to reduce carbon emissions. When building a new factory, the natural ventilation of the factory building is planned to reduce electricity consumption, and solar panels are installed on the roof of the factory building and office building. First, it can reduce the temperature discomfort of the factory building. The use of green energy can be increased to reduce the total amount of carbon emissions and contribute to the world.

Work with customers to achieve net zero carbon reduction. In the initial development, in response to the customer's product function requirements, in the corresponding product design, assist in the design of light weight, without reducing the function and strength of the product. To reduce the overall carbon emissions, especially Yeh Her Yow Plastic Co. Mfg. Ltd.'s professional field, can jointly develop the corresponding demand material application for customers, and also assist customers to develop the application of multi-component composite materials to replace high energy-consuming industrial materials, and recommend the use of more A wide range of special processes to replace multiple processes can reduce carbon emissions.

Global warming

Greenhouse gases are causing the surface to heat up and extreme weather phenomena are frequent. The United Nations calls for carbon reduction actions without delay. "Net-zero carbon reduction" is a common global issue. As of the end of October 2022, more than 110 countries around the world have declared that in 2050 2060) to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. For enterprises, why can't they stay out of the carbon reduction war? Failure to implement greenhouse gas inventory and formulate carbon reduction strategies will be closely related to operational competitiveness.

The first step to net zero carbon emissions: Greenhouse Gas Verification (Carbon Footprint Verification (CFV))

The so-called greenhouse gas inventory refers to the total greenhouse gas emission equivalents directly and indirectly emitted by enterprises in the operation process, including production, transportation and other activities, which are converted into metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent after statistics. At present, there are seven main categories of greenhouse gas inventory, including CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, NF3 and CFCs substances stipulated by the Montreal Protocol.

How to carry out the greenhouse gas inventory effectively?

It is not easy for companies to move towards net-zero carbon emissions. The current net-zero strategy road map can be roughly divided into four stages. The first step is to introduce carbon inventory, the second step is to set reduction targets, and the third step The reduction strategy should be carried out step by step, and finally the declaration of carbon neutrality will be achieved. For most small and medium-sized enterprises, the first stage of carbon inventory is the most difficult. Where does the inventory data come from? What calculation standard should be used?

What is a Carbon Footprint?

Carbon Footprint refers to the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions directly or indirectly caused by an individual or the whole in the process of production or service provision, and is mainly used to measure the degree of damage to the environment caused by man-made events or behaviors. A whole set of processes from manufacturing, transportation and consumption to waste treatment and recycling may generate carbon footprints, exacerbating climate change and the greenhouse effect. The following will list main reasons why Carbon Footprint Verification (CFV) should be carried out:

The main reasons for Carbon Footprint Verification (CFV)

Carbon Footprint Verification (CFV), Reason 1: Protect the environment

The Sixth Assessment Report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) called on countries to reduce their total greenhouse gas emissions to less than 50% in 2030 and to achieve net zero carbon emissions in 2050; that is, global anthropogenic emissions The amount of human-made offsets is deducted from the total amount of greenhouse gases, and the final value is zero. To limit the increase in global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius, thereby mitigating the serious impact of global climate change. Therefore, enterprises and individuals should use carbon inventory to understand the source and total amount of greenhouse gases produced by carbon footprints and protect the environment.

Carbon Footprint Verification (CFV), Reason 2: Promoting Energy Transition

More than 130 countries around the world have joined the ranks of net zero carbon emissions, replaced natural resources that will one day be depleted with renewable energy, and begun to promote energy transition policies. Carbon inventory can help companies deconstruct the source and total amount of carbon emissions in the life cycle of products or services, and make improvements and innovations from all aspects, strengthen corporate competitiveness, and complete energy transformation.

Carbon Footprint Verification (CFV), Reason 3: Demonstrate corporate social responsibility

At the same time, the carbon inventory also reflects the company's fulfillment of its social responsibility obligations. It has practiced two major aspects of ESG, environmental protection and social responsibility. It can not only win the favor of investors and the public, improve the trust of partners, but also meet the requirements of financial regulations. A key indicator of sustainable operation.

The scope covered by the international greenhouse gas inventory can be divided into three types, namely:

Direct discharge
Energy indirect emissions
Other indirect emissions

Carbon Footprint Verification(CFV) of Yeh Her Yow(YHY)

In response to the relationship between global warming and climate change, Yeh Her Yow Plastic Co. Mfg. Ltd. (YHY) advocated the net zero trajectory of ESG and the obligation of enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities. Under the catalysis of this wave, they began to work on how to achieve the goal of net zero carbon emissions many years ago. Make an effort, in the selection of many equipment, processes and materials, we are positively facing this track. The first step is to check the greenhouse gas inventory, inventory the main major items of carbon emissions, and then try our best to reduce carbon emissions. When building a new factory, the natural ventilation of the factory building is planned to reduce electricity consumption, and solar panels are installed on the roof of the factory building and office building. First, it can reduce the temperature discomfort of the factory building. The use of green energy can be increased to reduce the total amount of carbon emissions and contribute to the world.

As early as more than 20 years ago, injection molding machines using traditional motors have been equipped with frequency conversion devices to reduce electricity consumption.
More than ten years ago, the equipment in the factory was replaced again, and the traditional motors with high energy consumption and low power efficiency were replaced with servo energy-saving motors, which greatly reduced carbon emissions.
In recent years, the whole factory has been replaced with LED lamps one after another.
Purchase multiple electric forklifts to reduce the use of diesel fuel by diesel forklifts.
With long-term cooperation customers, Ye Heyou changed the recycled cartons to use reinforced corrugated boards to extend the service life and recycling times of the cartons.
In the injection molding process, air compressors are high-energy-consuming equipment. In the Q4 period of 2022, the replacement equipment will be replaced by servo frequency conversion air compressors, and the load rate will be reduced by using multi-connected grid connection. Do our best to achieve the goal of zero carbon emission and achieve sustainable management.
