Formosa Microsemi Participates in the “Reduce, Share, Love the Earth” Joint Beach Cleanup Campaign

The “Reduce, Share, Love the Earth Alliance” joined hands with GIGABYTE Technology on March 21, 2026, to participate in a joint beach cleanup activity with supply chain partners.

At “Zhūbízi Beach,” which GIGABYTE has long adopted and maintained, participants worked together diligently and successfully removed 2,818 kilograms of marine waste.

Humanity’s dependence on plastics is making the ocean pay a heavy price. As tens of millions of tons of plastic waste drift with the currents, they do not disappear; instead, they break down into trillions of microplastic particles. These “marine dust” particles re-enter our natural environment and food chain through the atmosphere and water cycle, and have been found everywhere from deep-sea fish to human blood. According to research, between 11 million and 14 million tons of plastic entered the ocean globally in 2025, equivalent to one garbage truck full of plastic being dumped into the sea every minute. More than 51 trillion pieces of microplastics have already accumulated in the ocean, an extremely alarming figure.

According to statistics, greenhouse gas emissions related to plastics accounted for approximately 4% to 5% of the global total in 2025, making the issue of plastic management an important sustainability challenge. In response, GIGABYTE Technology and its supply chain partners in the “Reduce, Share, Love the Earth Alliance” have taken joint action to reduce environmental impact and energy consumption across different stages of the product life cycle. In addition to continuously advancing its own carbon reduction efforts, GIGABYTE also plans to open its platform to supplier partners in the future to jointly promote energy saving and carbon reduction, help identify carbon emission hotspots, and provide recommendations and guidance. Through these efforts, the company hopes to expand its positive influence and work together toward a more sustainable and better future.
