is committed to implementing the 2040 net-zero carbon emission target
Yangzhou, China, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- E Ink, a global leader in electronic paper, announced today (June 16) that it has won the award from the international authoritative media Financial Times (Financial Times), Nikkei Asia (Nihon Keizai Shimbun) and international research and survey organization Statista jointly selected it as one of the Asia-Pacific Climate Leaders.
E Ink Yuantai Technology is listed as the Asia-Pacific Climate Leader in 2022 and is committed to achieving the 2040 net-zero carbon emission goal.
The Asia-Pacific Climate Leaders selection region covers Asia and Oceania. This region has the largest land area, sea area, and population in the world. Therefore, climate change will have significant risk factors for this region. . Two media outlets, FT-Nikkei-Statista and a survey agency, evaluated the top 200 companies that significantly reduced Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from 2015 to 2020. He was named to the list of Asia-Pacific climate leaders.
E Ink Yuantai Technology announced in December 2021 that it will achieve the goal of zero carbon emissions (Zero Carbon Emissions) in 2040, and plans to achieve 10% renewable energy use by the end of this year (2022), becoming the first The first display company to achieve RE10. Li Zhenghao, Chairman of Yuantai Technology, said: "Yuantai Technology is honored to be recognized for its long-term efforts in environmental sustainability. Being listed on the Asia-Pacific Climate Leaders list is an important indicator that affirms our sustainability work. In the future, we will continue to promote and implement the 2040 Net-zero carbon emission goal. "
html For many years, Yuantai Technology has used low-carbon and environmentally friendly e-paper display technology to help mitigate the impact of climate change and is committed to the zero-carbon emission goal. Yuantai Technology conducted a comparative study on carbon dioxide emissions based on different display interfaces such as paper, LCD, and electronic paper. The research results found that e-paper display screens have significant low-carbon benefits:- Based on a financial institution with 125 branches Take an organization as an example. After introducing electronic paper notebooks, it can reduce the use of 16.5 million sheets of A4 paper every year and indirectly reduce 1,100 tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year.
- In the past five years, approximately 130 million e-book readers have been used around the world, replacing the purchase and reading of printed books with digital reading mode. Assuming that 130 million e-book readers download an average of 10 books per year, reading with paper books or LCD tablet computers will produce 100,000 times and 50 times the carbon dioxide emissions respectively compared to using e-book readers.
- In the past seven years, about 600 million e-paper tags of about 3 inches have been installed around the world. Assuming that price information is changed four times a day, the carbon dioxide emissions produced by using paper labels are 32,000 times that of electronic paper labels.
- If a 10-inch e-paper billboard replaces an LCD billboard of the same size and continues to be used for 5 years and the display screen is changed 4 times a day, each kilowatt-hour of electricity used to produce these electronic papers will save the earth 400 kilowatt-hours of electricity.
- 's low-power e-paper is used in smart bus stop signs. The e-paper signage is combined with solar power supply and uses 100% renewable energy. It has become a smart transportation solution that promotes net-zero carbon emissions in the world.
In 2022, Yuantai Technology became the first display company to join The Climate Pledge (TCP). The Climate Declaration was established by Amazon (Amazon) to promote the commitment of participating corporate organizations to achieve the goal of net zero carbon (Net Zero Carbon) in 2040.
In addition, Yuantai Technology has also joined the "Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)". SBTi is co-sponsored by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). SBTi defines and promotes the linkage of climate science between carbon reduction and net-zero carbon emission goals, provides technology, experts and other resources to assist companies in integrating their carbon reduction goals with climate science, and conducts independent assessment and verification based on the company's carbon reduction goals. .
e-paper has the characteristics of low energy consumption and visual friendliness. In the fields of consumer electronics and smart education, e-book readers and e-paper notebooks provide a comfortable and paper-like reading and writing experience. In terms of IoT devices, low-power, non-self-luminous e-paper can be widely used in a variety of smart scenarios, such as reusable labels in the retail field; in the transportation field, it can be used without the use of cables and power grids. Bus stop signs and electronic paper signs powered by solar energy.
