Managing Waste
& Hazardous
Chemical
Substances

We remove hazardous elements to minimize environmental impact.

With the increasing demand for waste recycling and more diversified and stricter laws on the use and handling of chemical substances, the need to manage waste and hazardous chemical substances effectively is higher than ever. Against this backdrop, Samyang Group is ensuring safe handling of waste, proper waste separation, and reduction of waste to minimize the impact on the environment. We also established the Hazardous Chemical Substances Management Procedure to remove hazardous elements throughout the entire process of the development, utilization and disposal of chemical substances.

Waste Management

    To reduce waste and prevent environmental impact, we established waste management policies for each of our worksite for effective waste management.
  • Waste Storage and Management

    We separate waste according to waste type and dispose of them at the designated location. We also carry out inspections on waste storage and management and take corrective actions when there are violations in accordance with our correction and prevention procedure.

Hazardous Chemical Substance Handling and Management

Samyang Group handles hazardous chemical substances in accordance with the Hazardous Chemical Substance Management Procedure implemented at each worksite to manage potential environmental risks. We store hazardous chemical substances in designated storage and facilities in a safe way and dispose of them according to the hazardous chemical substances handling standards. In addition, we regularly conduct rigorous inspections when installing facilities that handle hazardous chemical substances, and provide information, guidance and technical support to our suppliers to ensure the safe management of chemical substances. We will continue monitoring and managing our activities to minimize the discharge of hazardous chemical substances into the environment.
