In response to the government's policy, ChipMOS uses the Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA) method to examine the flow of the production process and the key material loss to seek waste reduction and circular plan opportunity. ChipMOS plans to achieve the goal of zero waste by promoting circular economy projects to reduce resource waste and environmental impact, and achieve a win-win situation for economy and environmental protection.
ChipMOS promotes the "Silicon Sludge Circular Economy Project". Through cooperation with suppliers, the waste resources (inorganic sludge) in the factory are extracted from highly purified silicon dioxide (SiO2), and recycled materials are used to replace rubber and plastic materials, and then made into calcium silicate board, Epoxy and other green building materials and protective equipment, recycling back to the factory for use. ChipMOS took the lead in the Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) industry, we obtained the Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) and TC transaction certificate to reduce the use of materials and reduce carbon emissions. Based on this project, ChipMOS applied for the award to the Resource Circulation Administration , Ministry of Environment , and won the< 2024 Resource Recycling Outstanding Corporate - Silver Award>.
Results and benefits, and future vision：
● It is estimated that greenhouse gas emissions will decrease by 67%
(original ore 6.2kg CO2e/kg → recycled 2.1kg CO2e/kg)
● Cost savings：1.05 million TWD/year (waste disposal costs decreased by 40%)
● Link the upstream and downstream value chains in series to maximize resource benefits, reduce environmental impact and build a circular economic ecological chain.
In response to the government's concept of big leads small projects, ChipMOS will work with the supply chain to drive the industrial chain to create a new model of circular development and achieve the sustainable cycle vision of industrial symbiosis, resource sharing and environmental sustainability.
