SK Hynix recently announced its medium to long-term plan for achieving net zero emissions, intending to utilize recycled materials in production.
According to a report by South Korean media Chosun Biz, SK Hynix has set phased goals to increase the proportion of "recyclable materials" used to achieve net zero emissions. The company aims to increase the proportion of recyclable materials in its products to 25% by 2025 and expects to raise it to over 30% by 2030.
SK Hynix has decided to gradually transition from metals such as copper, tin, and gold used in semiconductor production to recyclable materials. Furthermore, the company will reorganize the implementation system of relevant plans and subsequently strengthen the certification process and quality evaluation for purchasing recycled materials.
In addition to setting clear goals and plans, SK Hynix also encourages partners to participate. For instance, SK Hynix plans to involve partner companies in international standardization organizations and other institutions for certification to assess the usage ratio of recycled materials.
Analysis suggests that since metals account for a significant proportion of memory products and are difficult to replace with other materials, using recyclable materials will expectedly create significant resource circulation.
