Hsinpu Chemical Fiber Plant is committed to reaching net zero through circular and sustainable practices. Its efforts were recognized by the Ministry of Environment with the Bronze Award during the 6th National Enterprise Environmental Protection Award. The award demonstrated FENC’s determination to support the government's environmental policies. The highlight of the award-winning actions are as follows:

1. Hsinpu Chemical Fiber Plant has been attending the Supplier Leadership on Climate Transition course series, and the plant has obtained the certification. The course series covers the GHG inventory as well as the establishment of carbon reduction pathways and GHG reduction targets based on the 1.5°C scenario. The aim is to reduce emissions from the industry and value chains through collective action. In June 2024, the carbon reduction targets submitted by FENC’s Polyester Business received the approval from SBTi.

2. In 2022, Hsinpu Chemical Fiber Plant teamed up with the President convenience store chain, 7-ELEVEN, and President Packaging Ind. Corp. on an exclusive partnership to promote the use of Efficient Smart Recycling Machines in northern Taiwan. Waste plastic bottles collected at the 7-ELEVEN store locations were transformed into rPET through FENC’s vertically integrated recycling system, thus building a green, sustainable ecosystem.

3. Hsinpu Chemical Fiber Plant joined forces with Zhubei City Office to implement a project that facilitated zero emissions and smart environment. With smart recycling machines as the anchor, waste PET bottles were collected, cleaned, decontaminated and transformed into food-grade rPET chips through the plant’s eco-friendly recycling technology, which effectively reduced plastic waste and increased the recycling rate.

Hsinpu Chemical Fiber Plant plays a critical role in the promotion of the circular economy in the plastics industry in Taiwan. It is the largest rPET manufacturer and the first in Taiwan to obtain the letter of no objection from Taiwan Food and Drug Administration to produce rPET food contact materials. The award is a testament to these exemplary practices.
