A Gold certificate is reserved only for companies that can push beyond 95%.Samsung keeps fighting the good fightSamsung’s efforts to reduce waste are visible across the board, not only around its manufacturing plants.

It led to the Galaxy S10 series being wrapped in a more eco-friendly package.The company also partnered with Wisetek Solutions a few months ago in an effort to reduce e-waste across Washington, DC. At the same time, Samsung Netherlands ran a campaign ensuring that every Galaxy S10e purchased in the country will result in a scrap phone in Ghana and Uganda being recycled properly.
