E Ink Holdings announced that it aims to achieve Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2040. EIH has already been working for several years to reduce emissions, and has now announced a three phase plan to reach their new commitment.

The first phase will be to achieve 40% renewable energy by 2025. The second step is to achieve 100% renewable energy use by 2030. In addition to increasing the proportion of renewable energy use year over year, E Ink will also improve energy use efficiency and reduce the overall energy use and consumption of environmental resources in product development, manufacturing, and corporate operations.

2021 is soon over - another year dominated by the global pandemic, but one that increased demand for ePaper displays dramatically.

E Ink Holdings says that as demand for its displays grow, its customers have been willing to pay deposits to secure supply in 2022. The company is now fully booked for 2022.

The company says it is in fact unable to meet the demand, and is trying to expedite its four new upcoming production lines. The first line, if all goes according to plan, will begin operation soon, and two other lines will start production in 2022. These three lines will more than double the company's capacity. The fourth new line will begin operation in 2023.
