Samsung Electronics has had its newest efforts towards lowering the environmental influence of its reminiscence options acknowledged by some of the widely known world surroundings certification leaders, the Carbon Trust.
Recently, 9 key Samsung reminiscence merchandise – 4 DRAM options, three strong state drives (SSDs) and two embedded storage (eStorage) gadgets* – earned Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) labels from the UK-based Carbon Trust for his or her important position in lowering local weather influence and serving to with the transition to a low-carbon financial system. These PCF labels had been awarded after an intensive overview of every product’s carbon influence, from the uncooked materials extraction stage by means of manufacturing, distribution, use and disposal. The PCF certification additionally gives a dependable measure of the electrical energy, water and fuel used throughout reminiscence chip manufacturing.

The 512GB uFS 3.1 was acknowledged with the trade’s first ‘Reducing CO2’ label
In addition to the PCF label, Samsung’s 512GB eUFS 3.1 – the corporate’s newest smartphone storage reminiscence – was acknowledged with the trade’s first ‘Reducing CO2’ label for eliminating extra carbon emissions than the earlier era, Carbon Trust-certified 512GB eUFS 3.0.
The ‘Portable SSD T7 Touch’ is the primary semiconductor product to be acknowledged as a inexperienced (eco-conscious) product by the Korean Ministry of Environment
Samsung’s T7 Touch SSD additionally acquired a ‘low carbon product’ certificates from the Korean Ministry of Environment (MoE), making it the primary Korean government-certified inexperienced semiconductor product in Korea. The low carbon certificates is given to merchandise that obtain a minimal of three.Three p.c carbon discount over the beforehand MoE-accredited product era.
The materials used for the T7 Touch SSD’s packaging is made out of eco-friendly pulp
By utilizing one-third much less tray packaging, changing the plastic trays with eco-friendly pulp materials and minimizing greenhouse fuel emissions all through its manufacturing, the T7 Touch SSD noticed a 5.1 p.c discount in its carbon footprint in comparison with the earlier era product. This interprets to an annual savings of roughly 84 tons of carbon – about the identical quantity of CO2 absorbed by 13,000 30-year-old pine bushes in a single yr.

The new certifications are along with Samsung’s Hwaseong Campus in Korea having not too long ago become the trade’s first semiconductor website to earn the Carbon Trust Standard for Water, in recognition of its sustainable water administration.
“Through the continuous reduction of our carbon footprint, we are committed to improving environmental sustainability across our semiconductor business operations,” stated Chanhoon Park, government vice chairman and common supervisor of Global Infra Technology at Samsung Electronics. “Moving ahead, we’ll try not solely to realize larger competitiveness with our semiconductor applied sciences, but in addition ongoing management in sustainable environmental efforts.”
