BEIJING, May 6, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- RLX Technology Inc. (NYSE: RLX, "RLX") today
announced its net-zero carbon emission plan, "Aim for Zero," to
achieve carbon neutrality in its operation by 2033 and along RLX's
value chain by 2050.
According to Aim for Zero, RLX, known for its RELX-branded
e-cigarette, will take eight measures to achieve its goal of
net-zero carbon emission in its value chain.
On the production side, RLX will start to reduce the waste in
its offices, production lines, and laboratories and aim to lower
the share of waste landfilling by 30 percent from 2021 to 2033.
RLX also plans to turn one of its self-owned factories into a
zero-emission factory in 2033.
The company will also form a green supply chain partnership and
encourage its supply chain partners to use more renewable energy
and set up a net-zero or reduced carbon emission plan.
As for RLX's products, RLX plans to reduce disposable plastic
packaging by 2025 and use only recyclable, reusable, or degradable
plastic packaging by 2033. RLX will also invest in developing a
zero-carbon RELX product by 2025.
The Pods Recycling project is RLX's primary emphasis on
achieving the net-zero goal. By the end of 2022, the project will
cover the entire nation and target increasing the recycling
cartridge volume by a triple from 2022 to 2025.
RLX has recycled over 1 million cartridges through its Pods
Recycling project in China, which
RLX launched in 2021, aiming to turn the used cartridges into raw
materials for cement and use the cement to build infrastructure in
China's counties. Through the Pods
Recycling project, RLX's first road made with cement has been in
operations in Chengde, Hebei
province of China.
RLX aims to turn at least one of its branded stores into a
zero-emission green store by the end of 2023 while encouraging its
employees to adapt to a low-carbon lifestyle.
RLX has not stopped pulling resources into reducing carbon
emissions in the past years. According to TÜV Rheinland, a global
leading independent assurance services provider, in 2021, RLX's
Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen offices and laboratories achieved
net-zero carbon emission in their operation.
