We have a passion for creating products and services that deliver on the promise of innovation, enable people's imaginations and do right by the environment. These virtues are exemplified by our Samsung Recycling Direct [SM] program, which affords consumers a number of smart ways to help make the world a better, cleaner place.

We've partnered directly with respected take-back and recycling companies that do not incinerate, send to solid waste landfill, or export toxic waste (defined in a manner consistent with the commonly accepted definition of hazardous electronic waste) to developing countries.

Results include all voluntary and mandatory recycling in the US supported by Samsung through the SRD program.

Samsung Recycling Direct (SRD)

Samsung Electronics has been an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for the past three years, achieving Award for Sustained Excellence in 2013. We share the ENERGY STAR vision of GHG mitigation. Through our industry leading Samsung Recycling Direct program, we are facilitating the movement of removing old electronic products off the power grid, of any brand; and replacing them with energy efficient Samsung televisions and other energy efficient Samsung CE and IT products. Samsung Electronics recognizes that e‐waste is the fastest growing segment of waste in the industrialized world, demanding enough transportation in a year to line up delivery trucks half way around the globe. Samsung Electronics is very serious about being a part of the solution. From the inception of the SRD program, Samsung has held steady to its principles of protection for the environment, people and developing countries. The SRD program has always supported responsible management of e-waste material and we oppose export of unprocessed materials to developing countries. Samsung is the first manufacturer to participate with the e-Stewards Enterprise program, which provides third party validation our statements of principle. Please see our report on Samsung’s Policy for WEEE Management in the US and Canada for more information.

Samsung Electronics is extremely busy, standing strong as a responsible corporate citizen. We are focused to provide responsible recycling that is convenient and impactful. For information on past recycling performance, please refer to Mandatory vs. Voluntary Recycling Performance in the U.S.

Sustainable Materials Management (SMM) Electronics Challenge

The goal of EPA's SMM Electronics Challenge is to advance the responsible management of used electronics by challenging manufacturers of electronics to voluntarily commit to sending 100% of used electronics collected for reuse and recycling to third-party certified recyclers, increasing the total amount of used electronics collected for reuse and recycling, and publically posting information and data.

The SMM Challenge will recognize manufacturer programs within a tiered structure (Bronze, Silver and Gold), which contain increasingly comprehensive requirements. Please follow the links below to learn more about the Samsung Recycling Direct program and how we are participating with the EPA Challenge.
