Xiaomi report outlines its efforts to be more sustainable Jul 14, 2021 20:22 EDT with 0 comments The Chinese firm Xiaomi has released a new report that focuses on its sustainability efforts. While the report covers the typical aspects of sustainability such as how good devices are for the environment, the report also addresses a wider range of topics relevant to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. While the report itself is 34 pages long, there are some important highlights that can be extracted. In terms of product recycling, a key pillar in sustainability, Xiaomi said that it has a trade-in program running in China so that all of its smartphones can be returned for recycling or responsible disposal. As of March 2021, this service has also rolled out in Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands and by the end of the year, it will collect and recycle products in China, India, and Europe.
