SK On earns highest Zero Waste to Landfill Certification

Seosan and Yancheng 1 factories become the first SK On plants to achieve Platinum-level certification

  • By ICN Bureau | November 08, 2024

SK On, a leading global electric vehicle battery and trading company, announced that it has achieved the highest certification level from UL Solutions’ Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWTL) validation program for its facilities in South Korea and China.

UL Solutions, a global safety science leader, offers the ZWTL validation program to support organizations in measuring and qualifying their waste management efforts. This program certifies sites based on their recycling rates, with the goal of eliminating waste incineration and landfill disposal. It offers three certification levels: Platinum (99.5-100% recycling), Gold (95-99.5%), and Silver (90-95%).

SK On’s Seosan plant in South Korea received the Platinum certification in September, followed by China’s Yancheng Plant 1 in November. This certification is valid for one year, with annual renewal and level reassessment required for every year.

“This certification reflects SK On’s commitment to reducing waste across our facilities,” said Youngrok Jeon, Head of SHE at SK On. “We will continue to expand our SHE initiatives as part of our dedication to ESG management.”
