The growth process of trees absorbs CO2 through photosynthesis and converts carbon into an organic form for xed storage, which forms wood tissue after a long time.

The materials for papermaking are all the natural resources from agricultural and forestry.
By using the cellulose, starch, and lignin as foundation and the recycling feature of the fiber, paper making has become a part of the carbon fixation industry.    

In the process of continuous production and use of paper, the carbon originally stored in tree fibers through photosynthesis will continue to be stored during the life cycle of the paper.
The longer the product is used, the longer the carbon stays in the atmosphere. 

Paper recycling can also delay the return of these carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, keeping the carbon locked in the paper cycle.

YFY follows the saccharide economy principle of carbon fixation to develop various environmentally friendly products.  

Addition to modifying the paper material, YFY focus on the research of saccharide construction.
Based on the green chemistry principle to understand and develop new organic material, low carbon, low energy, and de-fossil has been considered as the main points for YFY to develop the saccharide economy.

YFY uses sugarcane bagasse, an agricultural waste, to make building materials and paper, which is the origin of the agricultural cycle.

After 12 years of R&D investment, wheat straw and rice straw, which are traditionally regarded as agricultural wastes, were used as raw materials to extract straw fiber through a biological process without chemical additions, to produce the straw bio-pulping “nPulp” in 2013, in Yangzhou of Mainland China. 

After that, nPulp is processed into various types of paper rolls, cartons and paper plastics through papermaking or paper- plastic compounding processes, which are then made into various green packaging materials.

The coproduct during the production could be used as natural fertilizer in agriculture.  Or using Anaerobic Biological Treatment process to transform the coproduct to energy, like generating biogas for power generation and providing natural gas to local communities for heating.

This endlessly agricultural cycle not only extends the economic benefits of the food crops, but also reinforces the connection between the human and natural ecosystem.

Water is the source of everything and the most important medium in the papermaking process.
Hydrologic cycle is an important process of YFY Paper.
By passing through physical, chemical, and biological treatment, water could be discharged and reused as a cycle between the system and nature.

We evaluate the water quality requirements of each papermaking process, and collect the drained water from different processes and transfer it to another process for continuous recycling.

At the same time, based on the performance of previous year's water consumption, we could set improvement targets for unit product water consumption, water recovery, and recycling rate.

After treatment, recycled water could be used in accordance with the process and product requirements.  Or it could be discharged through discharge outlets legally set up in industrial parks, non-protected zones and non-agricultural areas, or refilled into wetlands.

The Dashu Old Iron Bridge Wetland (now classified as a local- level wetland of importance) adjacent to the Jiutang Plant is one of the few wetland parks in Taiwan created by the water resources of local companies. 

90% of the water source comes from the Jiutang Plant. 
The long-term water quality of Jiutang Plant is stable and clean.  It conserves wetland soil and vegetation, and provides diverse animal habitats. 

The plant has a long-lasting interdependence relationship with the wetland. The clean water discharged from the plant is not only the purification system of the wetland, but also the life-sustaining system.

To support the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), YFY implements value-added technology and resources transformation in order to increase the utilization efficiency and value of the resource.

The resources like heat, steam, and electricity, which are used for pulping, papermaking, baking in the group, are as renewable as possible.  For manufacturing, we use lignin(the black liquor) instead of liquid fossil fuel like heavy oil, “SRF” instead of solid fossil fuel, and biogas instead of gaseous fossil fuel like gas. 

The waste water during manufacturing, the waste that needs to be handled offsite, the loss of energy, ...etc in traditional manufacturing could be turned into energy for re-using in the group. 

It also becomes the fossil fuel replacement solution for various facilities, which not only makes the energy construction in the group become sustainable, but also reduces the dependence on fossil fuels.

It indirectly reduces the greenhouse gas emission and the impact of global warming to initiate recycling and  green energy generation. These efforts have made great strides in terms of renewable and clean energy for YFY and Taiwan.

Recycled paper is the reproduction of paper, which comes from various types of used papers obtained from the market's recycling system.  
This is the paper recycling cycle.

The proportion of recycled paper used in YFY Packaging (Yangzhou, Xinwu) is as high as 97%.
The pulp that Chung Hwa Pulp, a subsidiary of YFY , uses is the surplus sapwood from the construction industry and woodwork industry.  It’s also the reliable, sustainable, and certified pulp from the forest of FSC(Forest Stewardship Council).

YFY is leveraging its papermaking expertise to develop innovative, eco-friendly materials, including:

- Agricultural Paper: A plastic alternative that can be plowed into soil, boosting carbon storage in farmland.

- All-Paper Food Containers: Fully recyclable paper containers without PE coatings.

- PKT Series Kraft Paper Tapes: FSC-certified tapes that are easy to tear and recyclable with cartons, replacing plastic tapes.

These advancements provide sustainable packaging solutions for e-commerce and packaging markets.CHP’s "CircuWell" series features non-plastic, fully recyclable paper containers that simplify recycling by eliminating the need for additional sorting. Launched in 2023, "CircuWell" has gained traction, with 4 major breakfast chains adopting these all-paper lunch boxes.
