SK’s Recycling Commitment: Creating a Circular Economy

Our planet is facing mounting crises - including plastic waste, scarcity of fresh water and supply chain disruptions - that are influencing the livability and sustainability of our world. According to a report from The City College of New York, nearly 300 million tons of solid waste a year is generated in the U.S. with the number continuing to rise as the population grows.

Recycling is an important and necessary component of creating a more sustainable future for all. SK is actively researching and investing in next-generation recycling solutions to be a leader in the global shift towards a circular economy. Both in the U.S. and globally, SK is committed to being a global leader in recycling practices, technological innovation and investments, particularly as they relate to plastics waste, water and EV batteries.
