Samsung Display to use recycled cement from waste glass in constructing building

Samsung Display Co. will use 20,000 tons of recycled cement made from waste glass generated during the display production process for the construction of its new building.

The recycled cement will account for approximately 34 percent of the total cement required for the construction of the building, which is expected to be completed in the latter half of next year.

Samsung Display, which began recycling waste glass in 2008, has recycled all waste generated from its display production process amounting to 245,000 tons of waste glass.

Recycling efficiency is anticipated to increase further in the future when Samsung Display switches production to flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels, which produce less polluting trash than liquid-crystal display (LCD) panel production.
