Driving operational efficiency and minimizing environmental impact across the fragrance supply chain.
Overview & Strategy
Pillars, Strategy, Focus, Results
1. Reduce (Source Reduction): Optimize production processes and formulations to reduce raw material consumption and energy waste. (Lean Manufacturing, Process Optimization, Resource Efficiency)
2. Reuse (Recycling): Extend the lifespan of packaging, containers, and certain solvents. (Closed-Loop Systems, Internal Reutilization)
3. Recycle (Responsible Recycling): Ensure all unavoidable waste is recycled compliantly and efficiently. (Certified Disposal, Material Segregation)
Manufacturing & Chemical Waste
Objective: Minimize fragrance, solvent, and cleaning agent residue.
Measure 1: Optimized Batch Sizing: Utilize advanced planning software to accurately calculate batch sizes, minimizing residue in filling and fragrance containers.
Measure 2: Solvent Recovery System: Invest in solvent recovery and distillation equipment to internally purify and reuse solvents used in cleaning equipment.
Measure 3: High-Efficiency Cleaning: Use ultrasonic or high-pressure water cleaning systems to reduce water and cleaning agent consumption.
Objective: Reduce waste input upstream in the supply chain and increase downstream recycling rates.
Measure 1: Minimizing Secondary Packaging: Work with suppliers to reduce the use of shipping packaging, fillers, and pallet films.
Measure 2: PCR & Recyclable Materials: Prioritize the procurement of packaging materials containing recycled plastics (PCR) or easily recyclable materials.
Measure 3: Strict Material Segregation: Strictly enforce the separation of glass, cardboard, metal, and mixed waste to ensure high-purity recycling.
Objective: To extend the concept of waste reduction to energy management and reduce carbon footprint.
Measure 1: LED Conversion: Replace all factory lighting with high-efficiency LED lighting.
Measure 2: Water Conservation: Install low-flow faucets and water-saving devices, and use recycled water in non-production processes.
Metrics, Goals, and Outlook
| Key Performance Indicators (KPI) | 2024 Results | 2025 Targets |
| Non-hazardous waste landfill volume | Reduced by 23% | Reduced by 25% |
| Production water intensity (water consumption per ton of product) | Reduced by 30% | Reduced by 39% |
| Solvent Recovery Rate | Reaching 10% | Reaching 18% |
ISO 14001 is a key certification for environmental management systems.
Partnership Requirements: Our company only partners with third-party waste disposal companies that hold valid environmental permits.
F.A.Q.
Waste Reduction Initiatives FAQ
A: Our program is built on the principles of the Circular Economy, moving beyond the linear “take-make-dispose” model. Our core strategy is the 3R framework: Reduce consumption at the source, Reuse materials internally, and responsibly Recycle all unavoidable waste streams.
A: Yes, we track our progress using key performance indicators (KPIs). For example, our 2025 goal is to achieve an additional Y% reduction in non-hazardous waste sent to landfill compared to 2024 levels, and to maintain or increase our solvent recovery rate to Z+5%.
A: We minimize chemical waste through Optimized Batch Sizing and High-Efficiency Cleaning protocols, which significantly reduce residual product in tanks and lines. Crucially, we utilize a dedicated Solvent Recovery System to distill and internally reuse a significant portion of our cleaning solvents, creating a closed-loop system and minimizing hazardous waste disposal.
A: We do not handle hazardous waste disposal internally. We only partner with certified, licensed third-party waste management companies that adhere to strict national and international regulations. All disposal processes are documented for full transparency and compliance.
A: We focus on upstream reduction by collaborating with our suppliers to minimize secondary packaging (e.g., unnecessary films, excessive dunnage). Internally, we prioritize the use of Recyclable & PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) materials for all our final product packaging, alongside strict Material Segregation to ensure high-purity recycling.
A: Absolutely. Our Eco-Packaging initiative offers various options, including packaging made from Recycled & Recyclable materials, FSC-certified paperboard, and utilizing PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) plastics to reduce reliance on virgin materials. This is a core part of our Turnkey Solutions.
A: Yes. We view inefficient energy and water use as a form of resource waste. We have implemented a facility-wide LED Conversion for reduced electricity consumption and employ Water Conservation technologies, such as low-flow fixtures and exploring non-potable water reuse in non-production areas.
A: Our operations adhere to international best practices. We maintain relevant certifications, such as ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System), ensuring our waste reduction protocols are systematic, regularly audited, and continually improving.
A: We maintain transparency by publishing our environmental performance data. Clients can access our detailed metrics, goals, and methodologies in our annual Sustainability Report. Please contact our team to .
