The Company continues to organize reforestation activities around plant areas and surrounding communities to increase the green areas to help reduce global warming.
Water Consumption and Effluent Discharge / Water Resource Management
All 3 plants of TSTH Group have zero water discharge. However, the Company has continuously improved water management by reconditioning old water pipes and maintain time-based replacement of Water-Cooled parts around EAF areas for all 3 plants. At the NTS Plant, main water line pipes from the Water Plant to the CCM were replaced to minimize leakage, while Cooling Tower Q2 (Cells #5, #6) and Q3 (Cell #3) were repaired to reduce splash-out. The SCSC Plant installed a plastic net over storage tank TK3-A to cut evaporation losses, connected rain gutters from the SP Building to TK3 for better water harvesting, and replaced leaking cooling water pipes (ST.#4 at RM). Meanwhile, the SISCO Plant upgraded inlet louvers on Cooling Tower CT4 (Cells 1–4) to reduce splash-out and replaced gravel sand filter valves to prevent system leakage. These initiatives collectively enhanced water efficiency across all facilities.
• WasteandHazardousWasteManagement
The Company emphasizes reduction in waste to landfill with results in 99.82% waste utilization during the year. In the financial year 2024-25, all 3 plants have improved the waste management process to comply with the latest regulation on waste management that has been enforced since November 2023. The Company implemented several initiatives, including the addition of waste labels on packaging during transportation, enhanced monitoring to prevent spillage during storage and transit, and a tracking system for waste transportation. The waste management data is now reported through the new I-Industry system platform to ensure regulatory alignment and improve transparency.
