Making Good Use of Water Resources

Qisda considers cleaner production and environmental protection at the beginning of the product design process. No wastewater is generated during the production process of any product in any factory; there is only domestic sewage. In 2023, Qisda’s global operation locations consumed around 410 million liters of water, and discharged about 328 million liters of water. The municipal water supply (third-party sources) is the only source of water for all factories. 

Water consumption
410 cubic meter
 
Water discharge
328 cubic meter

 

 

The water pollution control equipment in the Taiwan Plant is operated and maintained by the professional personnel. We use biofilms to treat domestic sewage, whereas the produced sewage is discharged into the sewerage system built by the government. The sewage discharged by the Suzhou Plant is directly discharged into the municipal sewer system, and the sewage discharged by the Vietnam Plant is treated by the internal sewage treatment plant, and then discharged into the sewage treatment plant of the industrial park. The sewage discharged by both plants eventually goes into the sewer management system. Therefore, the generated sewage has not caused any direct impact on water bodies and the land. As for the inspection for sewage quality, the Taiwan Plant surpassed the standard established by the Guishan Industrial Park. The Suzhou Plant meets the sewage discharge standard, and the Vietnam Plant meets the discharge standard of the industrial park. The water discharged by all factories is regularly monitored and has not been reused by other organizations.


 

2023 Consumption Of Water

 

All of Qisda’s factories are located in industrial parks; we do not own, rent or manage any factory in ecological reserves or water reserves. We do not engage in any event that creates negative impacts on biodiversity. Likewise, our services and the process of product manufacturing do not harm the environment and the ecology.

  • Remark 1:The total water discharge is the tap water consumption of global manufacturing sites * 0.8 (0.2 is the estimated percentage of water vaporized due to the use of air conditioners).
  • Remark 2:The water consumption is statistically calculated based on the data in the organization’s water bill (minus the consumption by the tenants).
  • Remark 3:According to the World Resources Institute’s “Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas,” Suzhou (China) and Hà Nam (Vietnam) have been identified as regions of water stress.
