Sony Road to ZERO Initiative

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 13, 2023

Sony’s Road to ZERO initiative has made a lot of progress so Sony released a few videos covering their progress.

Sony launched the “Road to Zero” environmental plan in 2010,
with the ultimate goal of aiming for a zero environmental footprint.
Accelerating their efforts to further reduce their footprint by 2025,
Sony has implemented the Green Management 2025 target.

SORPLAS in particular is an interesting development because Sony is using their own formulation of recycled plastics in their products and they also sell their plast to third parties.
