**Samsung Achieves Full Water Reuse at Memory Production Sites**
(Samsung’s Memory Water Recycling Program)
SEOUL, South Korea – Samsung Electronics announced today it now reuses all water used in its memory chip manufacturing. This major sustainability milestone applies to all Samsung memory production lines globally. The company achieved a 100% water reuse rate in 2022. It has maintained this level since then.
Making memory chips requires large amounts of ultra-pure water. Samsung developed advanced systems to purify and reuse this water. Used water undergoes rigorous cleaning processes. These processes remove all impurities and chemicals. The cleaned water meets strict quality standards. It is then reused directly in the manufacturing process.
This initiative significantly cuts Samsung’s need for fresh water. It also minimizes wastewater discharge. The company also finds other water sources. It collects rainwater at its sites. It uses municipal recycled water where possible. These efforts further reduce reliance on local freshwater supplies.
