Gavin Graveson, CEO Asia-Pacific Zone, recently visited Taiwan to witness firsthand how our teams and partners are embedding environmental security directly into Taiwan's sophisticated supply chains. As a critical hub for semiconductors, hardware manufacturing, and biotechnology, Taiwan faces dual challenges of securing a resilient supply of resources while minimising environmental impact. Through innovative solutions, Veolia is helping the industry achieve green transformation.
🔄 SAR technology: Electronic-Grade Sulphuric Acid Regeneration
Together with our partners, we offer a world-first leasing service for e-grade sulphuric acid—a critical material in semiconductor manufacturing. This innovative model creates a 100% sustainable loop, achieving zero spent acid waste while reducing carbon emissions by over 50%, and guarantees an uninterrupted supply of critical materials for our clients.
💊 Framosa: Solvent Recovery for the Pharmaceutical Industry
As the handling of spent solvents becomes increasingly complex and costly in Taiwan, we are stepping in with a vital circular economy solution. By providing pharmaceutical solvent tolling services to companies manufacturing Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), we are drastically reducing both operational costs and environmental footprints for the biotech sector.
♻️ Bali Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Facility
Operated by Taho (Veolia's joint venture in Taiwan), the Bali facility processes roughly 400,000 metric tons of New Taipei City's municipal waste annually, converting it into 250 million kWh of green electricity per year. It achieves the highest energy conversion efficiency among all 24 incineration plants in Taiwan—enough to power approximately 70,000 households for an entire year.
As a long-standing French company in Taiwan, Veolia remains committed to engaging in local development through diverse collaborations and advancing the deep integration of environmental security with industrial sustainability.
