SK hynix shared its roadmap for sustainable semiconductor production by recycling materials
In commitment to sustainable semiconductor production, world's leading semiconductor memory chipmaker SK hynix has announced initiatives to incorporate recycled and renewable materials into its production processes. SK hynix says it is the first company to outline a comprehensive mid- to long-term plan for sustainable material utilization.
Under the newly established roadmap, SK hynix sets ambitious targets to increase the proportion of recycled materials in its products. By 2025, the company aims to elevate the usage of recycled materials to 25%, with a further target of exceeding 30% by 2030 based on weight. To achieve this, SK hynix will initially focus on essential metals like copper, tin, and gold, which are integral to semiconductor production. These metals, constituting a significant portion of finished memory products, pose challenges for substitution with alternative materials, making them ideal candidates for recycling. In addition to metal materials, SK hynix plans to transition to using recycled plastic for packaging, further promoting resource circularity across its production chain. The company has developed a robust implementation system to realize the goals outlined in the roadmap. This includes stringent certification procedures and quality evaluations for re...
