From November 5 to 10, 2023, the sixth China International Import Expo (hereinafter referred to as the Expo) was held in Shanghai. As the world's leading international trade platform, the Expo has been committed to promoting sustainable development and environmental protection initiatives. This Expo highlights the characteristics of green and wisdom. As an "old friend" who has participated in the exhibition for six years in a row, Samsung unveiled a series of smart electronic products with both leading technology and the concept of "sustainable daily" environmental protection, while showing consumers the future home experience. it also demonstrates to the public Samsung's environmental protection heart of actively implementing corporate social responsibility and implementing green and low-carbon development.

Achieve the goal of "zero carbon, zero plastic" through technological innovation

"Zero carbon, Zero Plastics" is not only a specific measure to implement the concept of green development and promote the "double carbon" development goal with practical action, but also a practical action to lead the green environmental protection and sustainable development of the industry. Scientific and technological innovation is the key to achieving the goal, and the Expo showcases new technological solutions from all over the world.

Adhering to the concept of sustainable development, Samsung has created a green cycle model that runs through the product life cycle, and the leading industry has carried out the recovery and reuse of resources. At the Expo, Samsung demonstrated the use of recycled materials in plastic parts of its products. By 2022, Samsung had used 98826 tons of plastic materials containing recycled resins worldwide, with a utilization rate of 14%. By 2030, Samsung aims to include 50% of its recycled resin in its plastics, and by 2050 it will use recycled resins in all its plastics. Some of the components of Samsung Neo QLED TVs are made of various recycled plastics, recycled EPS (foamed polystyrene) and graphite sheets from discarded batteries. Samsung reduces and replaces materials that may produce large amounts of carbon emissions from an environmental point of view, and reduces its carbon footprint. There are many types of recycled materials. Samsung broke through the technical barriers, continued to expand the innovative use of recycled materials in the product process, and introduced new materials into more components. Such as recyclable PA from discarded fishing nets, recyclable PBT from discarded PET plastic bottles, recyclable PC from buckets, and pre-consumption recycled aluminum from waste materials from the production process. The scrap metal is remelted, filtered and purified, and then recycled into Samsung's manufacturing process to make parts. Samsung Electronics has announced in its environmental strategy that it plans to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Solar remote control is an innovative product with great environmental awareness launched by Samsung. Not only does the product eliminate the need for disposable dry cells, but 24% of the plastic used in making Samsung solar remote controls comes from recycled materials, which means that more than 55 tons of waste can be recycled from 10 million solar remote controls produced each year. This is equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by about 18% compared with the production of traditional materials. Samsung chose to use plastic recycled from abandoned fishing nets to make a 20% solar remote control bracket in 2023, fundamentally moving towards the goal of "zero plastic," experts say.

Intelligent ecosystem to create a new dimension of environmental protection

In today's era, technological updates, especially the progress of artificial intelligence technology, make the consumer experience more personalized and humanized, and the home appliance industry is changing from a single product to an intelligent, user-centered and scene-driven solution. While enterprises provide consumers with more intelligent products and services, they also raise the concept of environmental protection to a new dimension through technological leapfrogging.

In the "Samsung Zhijia" exhibition area, Samsung demonstrated its innovative achievements in breaking down product connection barriers and opening the door to interconnection for consumers. Through Samsung Zhijia platform, we can realize the intelligent connection between TV and air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and other household appliances, providing users with a more intelligent and environmentally friendly interconnection scheme. Samsung TV's AI energy-saving mode can automatically switch the TV to energy-saving mode while on standby, thus reducing energy consumption. Using this mode can save users 20% of energy consumption without affecting their normal use and product experience. Energy-saving living services can display household electricity consumption in time and space dimensions, users can easily obtain the overall energy use of interconnected devices, and enhance personal energy-saving awareness in intuitive energy use information. Even if you forget to turn off the TV when you go out in a hurry, you can turn off the TV remotely to prevent the TV from wasting power when it is idle.

In addition, Samsung's environmental wisdom is also reflected in the ingenuity of creative life. The packaging carton surface of Samsung TV adopts dot matrix design, which can be upgraded and utilized again. Users only need to scan the QR code on the package to view the creative transformation manual, which can be easily transformed into exquisite and practical bookshelves and cat houses. Samsung hopes that the green and low-carbon concept can influence more people in a silent way that nourishes everything and evolves into a new fashion of life imperceptibly.

As a global electronic technology giant, Samsung actively practices green and low-carbon social responsibility, leads the trend of industry change under the concept of green energy conservation, and becomes an important participant and contributor to the construction of global ecological civilization. In the future, Samsung will evolve by leaps and bounds on the track of scientific and technological innovation, integrate the concept of "daily sustainable" environmental protection into the development map of the enterprise, and jointly promote the green transformation and upgrading of the industry.
