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.

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 adopt modular designs to make our products easier for customers to repair, upgrade, recycle, and reuse. Our “Product As a Service” program allows consumers the eco-friendlier option to rent products instead of strictly purchasing outright

Resource Regeneration

We provide recycling services in 30 countries to ensure that E-waste is carefully disassembled into resources with value for reuse and recycling whilst preventing inappropriate disposal or illegal processing.
