Continuous efforts to minimize waste in various ways – Following 3 R principle in all manufacturing process
- Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle as a framework for reducing waste in the environment.
Conducting evaluations and reviews to ensure that the implementation of environmental management is
leading to continuous improvement.
Fostering sensitivity, awareness, and care of all employees to actively partake in the environmental
management and contribute their share.
Collaborate with all related external agencies and work in close co-ordination to manage and preserve the
environment.
Strong emphasis on usage of cleaner energy sources such as gas and electricity and continuous monitoring
its optimum usage.
Problems relating to environmental damage are one of the most critical ones faced by the world today.
Developmental and production activities with the emphasis on economic aspects are happening rapidly and
recklessly at the cost of environmental aspects. There is an imperative need that all parties engaged in the pursuit of
economic development must come together and participate in the mission of stopping further environmental
damage to save this planet. The Government of Indonesia through the Ministry of Environment and Forestry always
strives to control the problem of environmental damage through coordination with all stakeholders. In addition to
the central and local governments initiatives, close coordination needs to be carried out amongst business
communities, educational institutions, NGOs, as well as other activists working in the field.

preserve and improve the quality of the environment for future generations. Therefore, the Company pays utmost
attention to environmental conservation efforts by managing and monitoring the environment to make our plant
carbon neutral and a green industry, by adopting eco-friendly manufacturing process, and operational activities. To
ensure that this environmental management runs effectively, the ISO 14001:2015 standard on Environmental
Management System is implemented which was first certified in October 2020. In addition, the Company routinely
monitors the environment through the Environmental Patrol Movement periodically.

7
Page 9
raw materials purchased from suppliers must meet environmentally friendly requirements as evidenced by the Oeko-
Tex certificate and Certificate of Analysis (COA). Whereas, chemical and dyestuff must be equipped with Oeko-Tex,
ZDHC, and Eco Passport certificates. Raw materials that have been processed into finished goods are retested
according to the specified standards or parameters and re-certified products, including SNI 56:2017, Standard 100 by
OEKO-TEX, and OHSE Product Registration.
Energy management & conservation:
The Company’s plant at Karawang captively generates power and steam with the help of Gas turbine and HRSG
(Heat Recovery steam generator) which uses cleaner fuel Natural gas and power back up from PLN for reliability and
captive generation outage. Kaliwungu plant is drawing power from PLN (40MW) for its energy requirement.
PT Asia Pacific Fibers has committed to implement an energy management system for future sustainability. We have
also carried out ISO 50001:2018 certification in March 2021 Energy Management System as our company is
committed to energy management, clean environment, and awareness to all Employees. To support this energy
management system, we have continuous innovation in the use of energy so that the use of energy equipment can
be efficient, in 2020-2021 several innovations have been made, as follows:
i. Improvement of all equipment and areas that
use steam, the result of this initiative can
reduce specific steam consumption from 0.58
to 0.55 kg of steam per 1 ton of product
produced, this innovation will continue with
target 0.53 Ton of steam needed for every 1
ton of product.
ii. APF realizes that the need for Natural Gas
consumption from year to year will continue
to increase along with the increase in
production so that innovation from the use
of Natural Gas will result in savings in the use
of Natural Gas. We replaced 1 of 2 turbines
that have been operating for more than 20
years due to reduced efficiency and outdated
technology with a new turbine with high
efficiency so that by using new turbine it is
projected to potential save the natural gas
3
5.6 Million NM per year. This new Gas
turbine is expected to get commissioned in
1st quarter of year 2022.
iii. Improvements in the cooling machine (chiller system) are carried out by modifying the parts of the
machine that can use water or only use air cooling, which resulted in potential saving of chiller usage
by about 5,238.480 TR/year.
iv. Replacement of the old and inefficient utilities with the new generation efficient one which gives
energy saving in the range of 17to 40%. Emphasis is on selection of high volumetric equipment to
minimize the CAPEX and effective utilization of the resources.
v. Transmission & distribution: Re-engineering, rerouting of the transmission pipelines, electrical
networks and replacement with energy efficient distribution network.
vi. End use optimization: Re-engineering of the machine accessories for effective utilization of the utilities
at the user end.

Emission management
The Company’s operations lead to emissions as a part of the production process which are well within the
parameters of the applicable regulations. The Company is very concerned of environmental issues, especially
regarding CO2 emissions. We are always trying to reduce emissions, by upgrading the equipment that contributes
the most to CO2 emissions, such as upgrading the GT-HRSG.
Periodic third-party checks at regular intervals as per applicable government norms and regulations are carried out
and ensured adherence to it.
Details of emissions are given in the table below:

The Company is committed to proactively monitoring and effectively managing emissions by using appropriate
technology and machinery which reduces the emissions from the Company’s plants, to ensure that all emissions are
within the prescribed parameters under applicable regulations. The Company has a captive power generation plant
which uses the Natural Gas as feedstock.
The total volume of emissions remains under control in the current year as compared to the previous year due to
energy saving projects and optimization of the process. However, Company’s sustained efforts and strategy to
reduce emissions, had led to the emission intensity over the last three years as seen in the table above.
Waste and Effluent management
The Company’s manufacturing process /activities generate various types of waste, both solid and liquid waste, as
well as waste that is categorized as hazardous and toxic (B3) and non-B3. The Company conducts waste
management comprehensively, effectively, and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Regarding liquid
waste, the Company manages it using biological (aerob) and chemical processes as stated in the Waste Quality
10
Page 12
Standard regulations based on the Minister of Environment Regulation No. 16 of 2019. Liquid waste is also constantly
tested independently and independently in a KAN- accredited laboratory with monthly results that meet quality
standards.

Environmentally Friendly Products
In an age of increasing Polyester consumption across a wide range of applications and the consequent wastage, it is
becoming highly imperative for the value chain participants to be responsible and accountable for environmental
protection and environmental sustainability.
ESSENCE-Bio is a range of BIODEGRADABLE yarns and is produced by modifying the
molecular structure of the original polymer by adding an organic compound during its
production process. This organic compound in the yarn enables anaerobic digestion of the
end-product in landfills by way of enhancing the biodegradation process through a series of
chemical and biological processes in a biologically active landfill. Fabrics/Garments made from
ESSENCE-Bio yarns are thus rendered biodegradable in landfill environments. Recycled Polyester
Filament Yarns: Derived from Recycling the used PET bottles. (RECO CORE)
Inherent colored filament yarn with performance additive technology ensuring:
o No Water Usage
o No Discharge of Chemicals
o Broad Intrinsic Color Portfolio
