Samsung affiliates, including Samsung Electronics, have started to reduce the use of plastic and disposable products. The electronics giant is playing its part in a society-wide movement to protect the environment by reducing the use of plastic and disposable products. Currently, some affiliates — including Samsung Electronics, Samsung SDS and Samsung Electro-Mechanics — are working to reduce the use of plastic at in-house restaurants that provide take-out dishes. This initiative will soon be rolled out to all affiliates. Plastic and vinyl materials used in catering will be changed to recycled paper materials, and plastic wrappings on cutlery and dishes will be reduced or removed.
