Samsung’s semiconductor websites are validated by UL for attaining Gold classification and above,
affirming the corporate’s dedication to environmental stewardship all through its operations
Samsung Electronics, a world chief in superior semiconductor know-how, immediately introduced that it has acquired UL’s Zero Waste to Landfill validation of Gold stage and above for all of its international semiconductor operation websites. This signifies that Samsung’s semiconductor websites in South Korea, US and China meet the requirement of greater than 95-percent waste diversion via strategies that don’t contain thermal processing. In explicit, the Samsung DSR constructing in Hwaseong, Korea, house to most of its native semiconductor R&D workers, is validated for Zero Waste to Landfill on the Platinum stage for reaching 100-percent waste diversion.
“The Zero Waste to Landfill Gold validation is testament to the care and effort by our employees around the world to protect the environment,” mentioned Chanhoon Park, govt vice chairman of world infrastructure know-how at Samsung Electronics. “Eco-friendly operations are now a must for any business and we will continue to ensure sustainable growth that is mindful of the environment that we live and operate in.”
Starting with Samsung Austin Semiconductor’s (Austin, USA) validation in January, the 5 semiconductor manufacturing websites in Korea (Giheung, Hwaseong, Pyeongtaek, Onyang and Cheonan) and two in China (Xi’an and Suzhou) have all acquired validation for Zero Waste to Landfill Gold stage and above for his or her waste diversion initiatives as of June, 2020. These packages had been designed to reduce the environmental footprint by shifting waste administration strategies from thermal processing or landfill disposals to recycling and reuse, enabled by innovation in manufacturing methods and continued funding on present methods, in addition to sturdy worker consciousness and waste discount campaigns.
Reviewed and licensed by a third-party trade testing and certification group, UL, the achievement is a milestone that affirms Samsung’s dedication to environmental stewardship and sustainability. These efforts are seen not solely with Samsung’s high-performance energy-efficient merchandise but additionally all through its semiconductor manufacturing operations spanning throughout its international community of greater than 60,000 workers worldwide.
“By pursuing zero waste to landfill validation, Samsung is demonstrating its commitment to reducing waste as a key sustainability initiative at the semiconductor sites,” mentioned Alberto Uggetti, vice chairman and common supervisor, surroundings and sustainability division at UL. “The Zero Waste to Landfill achievements at its semiconductor sites reflect its dedication to the environmental leadership and UL is pleased to validate its efforts.”
