The global semiconductor shortage has not only negatively affected the performance of many industries, but also posed a threat to the environment. The demand for chips is growing and manufacturers need to urgently increase the rate of release, which cannot but affect the environment. New technologies will come to the aid of companies.

Samsung and SK hynix are reportedly leaders in the production of "green" semiconductors in South Korea. Normally, when such products are released, many greenhouse gases are emitted and huge volumes of wastewater remain.
The increase in production is a serious concern for the Ministry of the Environment, but Samsung has been working with Hyundai Steel on a revolutionary system for using contaminated water in the chip production process for about a year now.
Since August last year, Samsung, Hyundai Steel and Steel Ceramic have been working together on new technology to recycle wastewater from factories - and the level of pollution from such waste is expected to increase as chip production grows.
Taking this into account, wastewater from Samsung semiconductor plants will be transferred to Hyundai - how far the plants are from each other and how the delivery will be carried out is still unknown. It is known that a system capable of performing the relevant tasks already received final approval from the Korean Ministry of the Environment back in August this year.
