Samsung Display becomes the first Korean manufacturer who received the highest level of certification for its efforts to produce no industrial waste from Underwriters Laboratories.

Samsung Display’s panel makers production site (line No.1) Asan, South Chungcheong Province earned a platinum certification in the zero waste to landfill segment. The UL sites recycled all of their industrial waste while giving gold for those reaching 95 to 99 percent and silver for 90 to 94 percent. Last year, Line 2 at the Asan plant had received the Gold grade. ( via Korea Herald)

“The first Platinum grade certification means that Samsung Display is making efforts at a different level,” said Jeong Hyun-seok, president of UL Korea.

The company is focussing on the manufacturing of its production plants more environmental-friendly. Samsung is making its USB Type-C fast chargers using recycled plastic. Recently Samsung semiconductor plant received the industry’s first sustainable water use certification.

Samsung Display has been recycling impurities from the display making processes since 2004 and is operating a resource circulation center to separate and decompose waste products by the material. The company also reuses metal materials for the floors of its plants when remodeling the fab lines.
