Samsung Recycling Direct (SRD) - 2011
Samsung Electronics is a 2011 ENERGY STAR Partner of the year. We share the ENERGY STAR vision of GHG mitigation. Through our industry leading Samsung Recycling Direct program, we are facilitating the movement of removing old electronic products off the power grid, of any brand; and replacing them with energy efficient Samsung televisions and other energy efficient Samsung CE and IT products.
Samsung Electronics recognizes that e‐waste is the fastest growing segment of waste in the industrialized world, demanding enough transportation in a year to line up delivery trucks half way around the globe. Samsung Electronics is very serious about being a part of the solution. From the inception of the SRD program, Samsung has held steady to its principles of protection for the environment, people and developing countries. The SRD program has always supported responsible management of e-waste material and we oppose export of unprocessed materials to developing countries. Samsung is the first manufacturer to participate with the e-‐Stewards Enterprise program, which provides third party validation our statements of principle. Please see our report on Samsung’s Policy for WEEE Management in the US and Canada for more information.
Samsung Electronics is extremely busy, standing strong as an accountable corporate citizen. We are focused to provide responsible recycling that is convenient and impactful. This year, Samsung Electronics will process over 75 million lbs of e‐waste in the US alone; and over 230 million lbs of e‐waste globally. Unbelievably, Samsung has already processed over 2 billion lbs of e‐waste globally, including home appliance. For more information, please refer to the 2011 Samsung e‐Waste Management and Activity Report.
