Samsung estimates that the volume of carbon emissions reduced from the five products, after their release until July 2021, amounts to approximately 680,000 metric tons of CO2, which is equivalent to 11.3 million urban tree seedlings grown for ten years or the greenhouse gas emitted from 149,000 cars driven for one year.īefore a product can be certified for carbon reduction, its current carbon footprint must be validated in order to set the starting line for measuring carbon footprint changes. For the Portable SSD T7 (1TB), Samsung used environmentally sustainable paper instead of plastic as packaging material to minimize the carbon footprint of the product. This means that less electricity and raw materials were used per chip. Samsung was able to cut the carbon emission of the five memory products through enhanced production efficiency.
The Reducing CO2 label certifies that a product’s carbon emission has decreased. The Carbon Trust also certifies the environmental footprint of organizations, supply chains and products. The Carbon Trust is an independent and expert partner of organizations that advises businesses on their opportunities in a sustainable, low-carbon world. The Carbon Trust recently also certified the product carbon footprints of 20 memory products 1 by giving them the ‘CO2 Measured’ product carbon footprint label. The previous versions of the five products had received the ‘CO2 Measured’ certification from the Carbon Trust last year.
“We will continue our path towards a sustainable future with ‘greener’ chips enabled by Samsung’s cutting-edge technology.”įive memory products achieve the Carbon Trust ‘Reducing CO2’ certificationįive Samsung memory products – HBM2E (8GB), GDDR6 (8Gb), UFS 3.1 (512GB), Portable SSD T7 (1TB), microSD EVO Select (128GB) – recently earned ‘Reducing CO2’ labels from the Carbon Trust.
“It is exciting to see our environmentally sustainable efforts receiving global acknowledgements,” said Seong-dai Jang, Senior Vice President and Head of DS Corporate Sustainability Management Office at Samsung Electronics. Samsung’s automotive LED packages also had their carbon footprint verification, a first in the industry for automotive LED packages, further expanding Samsung’s portfolio of eco-conscious ‘green chips’. SEOUL, South Korea-( BUSINESS WIRE)-Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, today announced that five of its memory products achieved global recognition for successfully reducing its carbon emission, while 20 additional memory products received carbon footprint certification.
