Circular Economy

CIRCULAR

Relinquishing the linear economic model of take-make-dispose and transitioning toward a circular economy are crucial for corporate sustainability. ASUS included the impact in product life cycle into product design and increased the use of environmentally friendly materials. We developed green products to increase our green competitiveness. We also continued to expand the extended liabilities of the producer to provide take back services across the globe and increase resource usage efficiency. ASUS also leveraged digital tools to accelerate the development of the circular economy and ensure the safety of the R&D environment.

Key Action

Eco-friendly Material Usage

We are increasing our use of environmentally friendly materials, thereby reducing carbon emissions throughout our products' lifecycles. We are also expanding the use of PCR, recycled pulp, sourced from FSC™-certified forests, and more active management on the use of chemicals in the production process, to improve the recycling of products and substances, and to reduce environmental impact.

Product Energy Efficiency

We continuously invest R&D resources in green design, and improve the energy efficiency of hardware and software to enhance the energy efficiency of our products so users can prolong its use while saving energy. We strive to surpass the ENERGY STAR® standard at least 30% every year.

Product Life Extension

We improve resource efficiency by designing products with recycling and reuse in mind. Easy disassembly and product-as-a-service models enable component upgrades, allowing consumers to adapt to changing performance needs.

Resource Regeneration

We provide recycling services in 30 countries to ensure that electronic waste products are properly processed to recover resources, preventing improper disposal and illegal handling.

Eco-label

We invest in green product innovation by using safer chemicals, circular and recycled eco-friendly materials, minimizing packaging, maximizing energy efficiency, and designing for easy disassembly and recycling. As a result, we have secured leading green certifications worldwide, such as EPEAT, TCO Certified, and the Taiwan Green Mark.
