Introduced biodegradable zip bags

Our biodegradable zip bags, crafted from plant-based materials, decompose within 3-5 years, a significant improvement compared to traditional plastic bags that take over 300 years to break down.

Implemented zero waste measures

Our zero waste goal includes eliminating scrap material, avoiding single-use plastic boxes, and providing reusable cloth bags for employees. We also implement rigorous waste sorting with three containment bins in every room for material reclamation and melt excess metal for reuse.
