Recycle	In response to global regulatory changes, SK tes is enhancing its capabilities to address regulations governing the transboundary movement of electronic waste and strengthening the foundation of its recycling business. With the implementation of the amended Basel Convention in 2025, regulations on the transboundary movement of electronic waste are becoming stricter, requiring a more systematic approach to compliance. Accordingly, the company has established regulatory compliance processes, including the Prior Informed Consent (PIC) procedure, and operates a cross-border recycling system leveraging its global network and operational capabilities. Through these efforts, SK tes supports its customers in conducting recycling operations reliably, even within complex regulatory environments.

assets resold for reuse, recovered resources sold as secondary raw materials, materials transferred to recycling processes, and final disposal volumes such as energy recovery,
incineration, and landfilling. These figures are based on the weight recorded at the time of removal from the facility, and duplicate counts of the same asset have been excluded.
