CHIMEI received the Green Leadership Award in 2021
Asia Responsible Enterprise Awards (AREA) presented us with the Green Leadership Award in recognition of our efforts to build the CHIMEI Green Energy Park. CHIMEI has pledged to uphold clean and green principles, safeguarding the environment through projects like this one.
In 2022, CHIMEI was awarded a Gold Medal from EcoVadis
The second time we’ve received an award for our sustainability, this rating puts us amongst the top 5% of corporations worldwide. Our determination to reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and significant improvement in our sustainable procurement practices received special recognition.
our own sustainability, but also the
sustainability of our clients
How is CHIMEI making
plastics more sustainable?
Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic materials offer a solution to reduce reliance on virgin plastics
Since 2016, CHIMEI has been a vital PCR ABS, PCR PC and PCR Alloy supplier. We hope to save resources and cut down on plastic waste through PCR, especially PCR-ITE (information technology equipment), as an alternative to similar high-quality plastics used in production. So far, we have utilized over 4,000 tons of recycled material.
Simplifying the recycling process with single-material packaging
We began planning to use 100% PP or PE packaging in late-2019. After more than a year spent fine-tuning our machinery, we finally began using the single-material packaging in August 2021. We are now introducing a closed-loop recycling initiative through close collaboration with our supply chain partners.

Playing a prominent role in the transition to clean and sustainable energy
Our environmental responsibilities extend beyond the CHIMEI manufacturing plant. For example, in 2020, we invested $7.9 million into Green Energy bonds to help Taiwan transition towards clean and sustainable energy. Currently, our bonds are helping to fund the construction of an offshore wind farm in Changhua County.
Achieving the world’s first-ever carbon neutral butadiene shipment
CHIMEI used carbon credits to compensate for 1,819 tons of CO2 emitted by a shipment of butadiene, which sailed from Brazil to Taiwan in August 2020. All credits were sourced through the framework of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), going towards the protection of forests and natural habitats at the Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve in Indonesia.
Responsible manufacturing means coexisting alongside nature
Communities and consumers increasingly expect their products to achieve performance excellence without harming the environment. At CHIMEI we share these considerations, dedicating ourselves to producing quality materials that have a minimal impact on nature.
How much annual waste can CHIMEI’s single-
material packaging cut down on?
10,000 tons
With recyclable, single-material packaging, we estimate a 10,000 ton annual reduction in the amount of CHIMEI packaging materials that go to waste. Furthermore, through close collaboration with our supply chain partners, this material can be recycled to produce new packaging, which is in line with our circular economy initiative.
