The industrial revolution enabled mass production and consumption, but the waste generated annually poses a significant burden on our planet. Unlike the traditional linear economy model, which involves extracting resources, producing products, and disposing of them after use, the circular economy focuses on maximizing resource use and minimizing waste. This approach aims to continuously use and recycle products, designing them to be reused as much as possible in order to reduce resource waste and minimize environmental impact.

The Circular Resource Recognition System, implemented since 2018, recognizes waste as resources and exempts it from waste regulations if it meets the criteria set forth in the "Act on Promotion of Transition to a Circular Economy Society“* such as not being harmful to human health and the environment. In December 2019, the Onyang site received the first recognition of 'circular resource' from the Geumgang River Basin Environmental Office under this system. In 2023, an additional six items, including Solder Ball containers from the Onyang site, were recognized as circular resources. This has led to a reduction of 2,243 tons of waste annually at Samsung Semiconductor‘s domestic sites.

Samsung Semiconductor is committed to establishing processes for resource circulation. For example, at the Onyang site, IC Trays that are discarded are separated, stored to avoid contamination, and then sent back to the IC Tray manufacturer. There, they undergo a process to be used as raw material and are reborn as new IC Trays. Samsung Semiconductor purchases and uses these recycled IC Trays.
This effort has been recognized, and starting in 2024, IC Trays will be certified under the Circular Resource Product Labeling System. This system labels products as circular resource products if they use at least 10% of circular resources in their raw materials. Samsung Semiconductor is committed to continuously expanding the use of circular resource products in the future.
