SHENZHEN, China, April 20,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- HONOR, a leading global provider
of smart devices, today announced its latest green initiatives
ahead of the 52nd Earth Day, which includes adopting
renewable soy ink for printing, removing toxic substances in the
manufacturing process, following stringent environmental standards,
and developing a recycling program. This is the first time HONOR
revealed its progress in environmental protection efforts.
"At HONOR, we are dedicated to taking a sustainable approach to
our business operations, pursuing a harmonious balance between
technology development and environmental protection," said
George Zhao, CEO of HONOR Device
Co., Ltd. "We strive to create reliable and innovative products for
our customers with green initiatives in mind, at the same time
making a conscious effort to achieve sustainability for our
planet."
Product Packages Designed with Environmental Awareness in
Mind
HONOR is committed to using eco-friendly soy ink to replace
non-renewable traditional petroleum-based ink across the production
of all product packages and user manuals. HONOR has been printing
product packages and manuals with soy ink, which has reduced carbon
dioxide emissions by 68 tonnes, which is equivalent to the volume
of carbon dioxide that can be absorbed by 3,778 trees in a single
year.
Removing Toxic Substances from HONOR Devices
HONOR has a mission to create innovative technology and remain
mindful of our impact on the environment while achieving our goals.
The company has gone one step ahead to prohibit the use of six
potentially harmful substances that have not yet been regulated by
laws. HONOR spends hundreds of millions of RMB annually in
this process to minimize the potential environmental impact. This
has been implemented in all HONOR mobile phones, tablets and
wearable products, which has eliminated around 2,896 tons of
potential harmful substances.
Meeting the Highest Grade of Environment Standards
HONOR strives to reduce the impact of its manufacturing process
and business operations on the environment by carrying out life
cycle management from the stage of raw materials selection to waste
disposal. All HONOR smartphones and tablets have achieved grade A
by the China Quality Certification (CQC) Center. In total, 54
products across HONOR's entire portfolio have obtained this
accreditation.
Recycling and Reusing Electronics
An advanced reuse and recycling system can greatly reduce the
cost of production while preserving the unnecessary consumption of
natural resources. HONOR currently operates an advanced and
professional recycling and reuse program. Since 2017, HONOR has
recycled over 1,650 tonnes of electronic waste from its
distribution channels.
HONOR strives to provide a premium customer experience through
its strategic focus on innovation, high-quality quality and
service. The company is dedicated to enabling a smart life for all
people, while minimizing the environmental impact to the greatest
extent. Through the continuous pursuit of sustainability, HONOR
strives to reach the perfect balance between technology development
and environmental protection, contributing towards the preservation
of the planet.
