World Environment Day: Make the Invisible Visible with Samsung Care for Clean India

Samsung India is driving awareness and action around responsible e-waste disposal through employee engagement, consumer outreach and sustainability partnerships.

As electronic devices have become an integral part of everyday life, much of this electronic waste remains stored in homes or is disposed of improperly, making it an often-overlooked environmental concern.

This World Environment Day, Samsung India is encouraging consumers and employees to take action through a nationwide awareness campaign focused on responsible e-waste disposal and recycling.

As part of the initiative, Samsung has partnered with authorized recyclers to organize e-waste collection drives across its head office and branch offices in eight major cities. Employees and consumers are being encouraged to responsibly dispose of unused electronic items and contribute to a more sustainable future. Participants will also receive a plant sapling as a symbol of environmental stewardship.

What is e-waste?

E-waste, or electronic waste, refers to discarded electrical and electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, chargers, batteries, cables, and other electronic accessories that are no longer in use, broken, or have reached the end of their life.

Awareness Campaign

To further build awareness, Samsung is organizing drawing and quiz contests for employees around the theme of environmental sustainability and responsible recycling.

Samsung is also reaching consumers through a digital awareness campaign that highlights the importance of proper e-waste disposal. The campaign showcases Samsung’s Care for Clean India initiative, which offers free doorstep pickup of bulky end-of-life appliances, making responsible recycling easier and more convenient.

In addition, Samsung has partnered with sustainability advocates and digital creators to amplify awareness around e-waste management and encourage environmentally responsible practices.

This World Environment Day, Samsung India invites everyone to make the invisible visible by responsibly recycling old electronics and helping build a cleaner, greener future.

What happens to my personal data if I hand over my device?

Before handing over your device for e-waste recycling, we recommend backing up and deleting all personal data. Samsung does not access, store, or recover personal data from devices collected for recycling. Users are responsible for ensuring that all personal information is removed from their devices before disposal.
