1. ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management at Tien Thanh A&E

The ISO 14001:2015 standard assists Tien Thanh in monitoring environmental aspects during corrugating on the BHS Q230 line and 7-color Flexo printing:

• Clean Energy and Emission Reductions: Sourcing clean electricity via rooftop solar installations cuts carbon footprint and reduces indirect industrial utility emissions.

• Closed-Loop Wastewater Treatment: Wastewater from washing the 7-color Flexo print ink rollers is processed automatically using advanced physicochemical treatments, ensuring discharge complies with Grade A industrial park standards in Que Vo.

• Efficient Solid Waste Management: All paperboard waste, die-cut scraps, and paper cores are collected, baled, and recycled 100% into pulp, driving a circular economy model.
