GlobalWafers 2025 Beach Cleanup : Taking Action to Protect the Beauty of Our Oceans

Embracing the Morning Breeze — Restoring the Beauty of the Coast

At 8 a.m., the sea breeze at Zhunan Longfeng Fishing Harbor carried a hint of salt and sunshine as GlobalWafers employees and their families gathered on the beach with tongs and garbage bags in hand, ready to begin the company’s annual beach cleanup. Zhunan Longfeng Fishing Harbor is located near our company site and is part of employees’ daily living environment. Holding the beach cleanup here deepens local engagement and allows us to address key community environmental issues through concrete action, demonstrating the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability responsibility. The year 2025 marks the sixth consecutive year of the Beach Cleanup. Employees and family members from Hsinchu Plant, Zhunan Plant, GlobalWafers Taisil Branch, as well as parent company Sino-American Silicon Products and Crystalwise Technology, joined forces to help restore the coastline through meaningful action.

 

United in Action — Protecting the Blue Coastline with Dedication

A total of 116 employees and family members participated enthusiastically this year. Familiar faces once again returned to the event, while many new colleagues joined for the first time. Several employees also brought their families along, creating heartwarming scenes of parent-child teamwork as children picked up litter along the shore. Together, participants cleaned up bottles, plastic bags, fishing nets, and styrofoam debris, collecting approximately 200 kilograms of waste — including 80 kilograms of styrofoam and 120 kilograms of non-recyclable materials.

Promoting Plastic Reduction — Building a Greener Lifestyle

Beyond the cleanup effort, this year’s event emphasized the importance of plastic reduction and waste prevention at the source. GlobalWafers encouraged participants to bring reusable bottles and eco-friendly items to minimize single-use products. Through environmental education, both adults and children learned about the impact of marine debris on ecosystems. By combining education and action, the event helped transform environmental awareness into lasting daily habits — turning care for the Earth into a continuous practice.
