Green Innovation Design

Green products

Ability promises to provide premium products and services. From raw material acquisition, development and designs, and production and manufacturing. We have implemented the philosophy of environmental protection to comply with related laws, regulations, and customers' requirements for protecting users' safety and health. We will continue to improve the development, design, and manufacturing of products to create safe, sustainable, and innovative products for customers, employees, and the environment.
In accordance with the ""Procedures for Environmental Management Substance Management,"" ""Environmental Management Substance Standards,"" ""Procedures for Production Control"", other internal procedural documents, directives for green product designs and hazardous substance management, Ability implemented ISO 9001 quality management system, IATF16949 automotive product quality management system, and IECQ QC080000 hazardous substance procedure management system. Ability not only passed the third-party certification, but also ensured all products and services provided by Ability would comply with green product quality, safety regulations, and all other customers' requirements.

Design Philosophy for Green Products

Design for product recycling

Referring to the EU regulations and customers' requirements, Ability defined the minimum allowance standard for the "recovery rate" and "reuse and recycling rate." These rates were calculate based on the gross weight of materials provided by the suppliers upon the incoming acceptance of materials, and weight consumed during the manufacturing process. In the future, we will continue to improve the reuse, recycling and recovery ratio.

Use of green materials

All materials used are confirmed to be compliant with the RoHS requirements of the EU upon the acceptance of materials. Apart from otherwise stated by the EU, products sold to different countries shall comply with the substance control regulations of the importing country. If customers otherwise set substance prohibition requirements, Ability is committed to follow those additional customer requirements.

Energy-saving and carbon dioxide reduction policy

Targets for our products are set to either reduce 5% of power consumption, or increase their operating lifetime of by 5%

Use of green packaging materials

The procurement adopts recyclable or recycled and reproduced packaging materials on a continuous and prudent basis

Plan	Goal	Implement in 2023
Reduce effects of the course of production on the environment: Include subsequent assembly, testing,and other relevant details in the design examinations at the initial designing period to shorten production working hours and testing hours so to reduce the overall energy waste and combine test stations and improve test efficiency through hardware designs and integration to achieve overall testing time reduction.	Reduce working hours by 5% each year.	The testing work hours in the post-development stage were reduced by 36.6%, and the manpower was reduced by 11.24%. For assembly lines, site investment is reduced and labor hours are reduced by 3.88%
Regarding product designs and the surface processing(coating/printing)of appearance,we use environmental materials and technologies to reduce the possibility of generating waste materials and pollutants.non-hazardous substances are selected for the overall materials to fulfill the green material standards.	Achieve 90% or higher by 2025 for each machine type for the implementation of halogen-free products. Achieve 70% or higher for introducing VOC coating standards by 2030.	95.68% halogen-free mechanical components Packing materials are 98.76% halogen-free. Imaging system products have all adopted halogen-free packaging materials
For hardware circuits, improve the overall power circuit, minimize consumption power and work with software for optimization to produce better power-saving products. Utilize minimum parts to achieve the optimum time of use while examining the power consumption and overall time of use/idle time of products on a yearly basis to duly comply with energy-saving specifications.	Reduce power consumption by 5% or improve the time of use of products by 5% by 2025. Allow all products to fulfill energy efficacy specifications (BC/ NRCAN/ErP) by 2030.	Product Energy Efficiency Specifications California battery charging system energy efficiency requirement (BC) reaches 100% Canadian energy efficiency label (NRCAN) reaches 100% EU Energy Related Products Directive (ErP) reaches 100%
Carry out plastic reduction designs for mechanisms and packaging materials and adopt environmental materials as the first choice for designs. At present, we have started to introduce plastic bag-free packaging designs for machine types of specific customers.	Start implementing plastic reduction actions in 2023, with the goal of reducing the use of plastic bags in 2024 and 2025. Introduce the laser engraving process to reduce the use of specification labels. Starting from 2023, it will be promoted to products and customers, with the goal of adding one model every year	In 2023, only 17 models will use plastic packaging, and the rest have achieved the goal of packaging without using plastic bags. In 2023, 8 models will have introduced the laser engraving process to reduce the use of specification labels.
