Waste Treatment Policy
Hyosung Heavy Industries provides regular waste separation and collection training for systematic waste management. Departments that generate the most waste classify and discharge waste according to its nature, such as combustible, waste paper, and non-combustible, and reclassify waste at waste storage units. In the process of reclassifying waste, paint thinner cans, coating cans, and miscellaneous iron are separated and recycled, and we reduce the amount of waste oil and waste paint generated by implementing a real-name discharge system to tally and manage waste by department. All wastes transported to waste storage units are categorized and stored by type, and waste management takes places considering the storage limit and duration. After the wastes are delivered to a contracted processing company, information such as the amount of waste treated and the processing company is entered into the legal waste disposal system (Allbaro). We continue to discover new companies to enhance the efficacy and efficiency of waste treatment.

Water Resource Management Policy

At the Changwon Plant, we periodically replace outdated water pipes and minimize the amount of unnecessary water consumption through self-inspection of leaks. In addition, we store filtered water from manufacturing in water tanks for recycling and reuse.
