ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT (CONTINUED)

Use of Resources (Continued)

In addition, we have built an energy management centre, enabling us to collect and monitor online data
of energy consumption in real time. This helps us improve our energy saving efforts by replacing obsolete
technology and technique with more efficient and advanced ones. For instance, replacing old and low-
efficiency air compressor with new one with inverter allows us to save 80,000 kwh of electricity consumption
a year.

Our Houjie Factory is strategically located whereby transportation distance is shortened and indirectly
reduces our fuel consumption of vehicles. As regards packaging materials, we also use bubble bags in place
of corrugated packaging to reduce the volume of packaging materials used.
