Samsung Electronics, with its pre-show keynote at CES 2022, pledged to build a green and sustainable future, announcing that it had last year produced Carbon Trust Standard-compliant chips that helped cut carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 700,000 metric tons. The initiative is part of the Samsung ‘Together for Tomorrow’ Vision.

Samsung’s Visual Display Business plans to use 30 times more recycled plastics than it did in 2021. Also revealed were plans to expand its use of recycled materials over the next three years, including all mobile products and home appliances.

In addition, the company plans to make all of its TVs and phone chargers use near-zero standby power by 2025, meaning they’ll not be consuming any energy when not in use.

Samsung also revealed that in 2021, all of the packaging for its TVs used recyclable materials. In 2022, it will expand the application of recycled materials to cover the inner packaging of cartons. The company also promised to use similar packaging material with its home appliances in the future.

E-waste is another major challenge for the tech industry and Samsung says it has done its bit by actively recycling e-waste since 2009. Today, the collection stands at 5 million metric tons.

Last but not the least, Samsung Electronics dropped some profitability figures for Q4 2021, stating with a press release revealing that its consolidated operating profit stood at approximately 13.8 trillion Korean won or around $11.5 billion. Consolidated sales, on the other hand, totaled 76 trillion Korean won approx. or around $63 billion. Detailed earnings will be made available on January 27th.
