In recent discussions, clients have highlighted Apple's emphasis on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors, particularly in energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and achieving net-zero carbon emissions. Apple is keen on addressing sustainability not only in its product offerings but also in the production processes and materials it employs.

This trend aligns well with the advantages offered by TBF (Taiwanese Build-Up Film):

1. Material Recycling Mechanism: TBF has implemented a robust material recycling mechanism, minimizing waste and promoting a circular economy.

2.     

3. Optimized Production Processes: Through continuous process optimization, TBF has significantly reduced its carbon footprint in the production phase.

4.   

5. Reduced International Transportation Impact: By sourcing locally and eliminating the need for international shipping, TBF has effectively reduced carbon emissions associated with logistics.

6.      

7. Eco-friendly Formulations: TBF employs eco-friendly formulations, eliminating the need for energy-intensive refrigeration for storage.

8.     

The cumulative effect of these strategies amounts to a substantial reduction in carbon emissions. TBF's sustainable practices result in an annual reduction of 8,780 tons of CO2e compared to conventional processes. Impressively, the carbon footprint of TBF is merely a quarter of that of traditional facilities.

Continuing to enhance their capabilities in the ABF (Ajinomoto Build-up Film) carrier manufacturing, TBF focuses on developing a sustainable supply chain. Collaborative efforts with industry partners have led to the creation of "Super Ultra Low Loss" materials and environmentally friendly formulations, reducing operational risks for Taiwanese factories and promoting an eco-friendly environment. This resonates with the broader goal of fostering a mutually beneficial relationship within the industry.

The commitment to "Import Substitution," "Local Sourcing," and supporting "Taiwanese Manufacturing" reinforces the stand for local resilience and growth. With key players like Unimicron, Nanya, and Kinsus at the forefront of this movement, Taiwan's ABF industry embraces the "Taiwan-made" ethos, supporting sustainability and paving the way for a greener future.
