Green Manufacturing：Zero-carbon Production
Guo Jian, General Manager of BOE’s Chongqing 6th Generation Flexible OLED Production Line, shared BOE’s green technology and manufacturing efforts. He outlined three key measures: green product planning from the outset to reduce carbon emissions; low-carbon design, materials, and end - of - life treatment; and carbon footprint quantification, disclosure, and certification. These measures embody the "whole-life-cycle" concept to support environmental sustainability.
BOE actively responds to the national carbon-peaking and carbon-neutrality strategy, exploring carbon-reduction opportunities and innovative energy-saving initiatives. In green manufacturing, BOE has built multiple green factories.
To date, BOE has 18 "National Green Factories," including the display industry’s only "National Zero-waste Enterprise," one "Lighthouse Factory," two "Zero-Carbon" factories, seven factories with UL 2799 Zero Waste to Landfill Platinum Certification, and nine factories participating in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Looking ahead, BOE will continue its green operations, promoting a low - carbon transition through energy - saving technologies, AI applications, efficient management, and resource integration to lead a zero-carbon future. Guests at the event shared their sustainable development initiatives and expressed interest in collaborating with BOE on green production, manufacturing, products, and applications.
